Title:
  Elantech touchpad locks cursor when touching with 2 or more fingers

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Running Ubuntu 14.04.1, Unity desktop, kernel 3.13.0-35 generic on
  Intel Classmate, MG Pupil 109

  The touchpad is identified in dmesg as
  [    1.539535] mousedev: PS/2 mouse device common for all mice
  [    2.528608] psmouse serio4: elantech: assuming hardware version 3 (with firmware version 0x354f01)
  [    2.541184] psmouse serio4: elantech: Synaptics capabilities query result 0x39, 0x16, 0x09.

  The cursor locks when you touch the touchpad with 2 or more fingers.
  The only way I found to get it loose is reboot or suspend and resume.

  modprobe -r psmouse
  modprobe psmouse doesn' t work, also not with proto=auto  

  In systemsettings I disabled 2 finger scrolling without result

  In dmesg I see messages like "psmouse serio4: Touchpad at
  isa0060/serio4/input0 lost synchronization, throwing 5 bytes away
  during normal operation". The number of bytes can be 4 too. When the
  cursor locks up, I don't see such a message. Nothing is reported in
  dmesg.

  Doing some research, I've learned that the touchpad should support
  multi touch. Off course that doesn't work, since touching the pad with
  more fingers makes it lock.

  Any help much appreciated.
