[Daniel Heckenberg <launchpad@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've done some further investigation.  I suspect that the issue relates to the fact that this is a USB elan touchpad.  

It's currently being handled by the usbhid and hid_generic kernel
modules.  Everything I've read talks about synaptics or elan touchpads
being supported through the psmouse module (for ps/2 interfaced
devices).  There seems to have been a recently added synaptics_usb
module to support usb devices but perhaps it doesn't support elan
hardware?

Or should the synaptics xf86 driver be able to work with the underlying
hid_generic module?

I'm keen to help get this resolved so I'd appreciate pointers to other
forums / projects / people with the necessary specific knowledge.

Thanks,
Daniel
