Title:
  Add driver for Sentelic Touch pad

Status in OEM Priority Project:
  Invalid
Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: linux-image

    The touch pad used in the (newer) MSI Wind is made by Sentelic.  Sentelic has released a linux driver and configuration utility under GPL.  It is available at http://sourceforge.net/projects/fsp-lnxdrv/.  Some of the instructions included in the tar file seem to indicate this touch pad made be used in the Acer Aspire One as well.
    The supplied kernel code consists of a patch to the kernel ps/2 mouse driver to recognize the touch pad and a module to communicate with the touch pad.

    A discussion about building and using this driver on Ubuntu 8.10 is
