For anyone still having an issue with an elantech touchpad, I was unable
to find any working solution for an ubuntu base. I recently made the
switch to full arch and FOUND A FIX! Two-finger scrolling is active and
multi-finger tap works as well. If someone wants to make it work for
Ubuntu I'm sure they could as this patch is from aur and pulls in code
from github.

Here's the link:

-Enjoy

Title:
  Touchpad on ASUS X750LN notebook doesn't work on Ubuntu

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  The touchpad on my ASUS X750LN notebook (modell R751LN-T4102H) doesn't work on Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS.
  It seems to me, that the touchpad is not recognized by linux. It works completely under Windows 8.1. An USB mouse works fine under linux.

  The keyboard Fn key also doesn't work on linux.

  On Windows I found this information, which may be helpful. It is not
  the original text since I translated it from german.
