Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-input-synaptics

I'm using an Asus U81.   It has an elantech touchpad.   The touchpad
technically works, including multitouch (two finger scrolling, and
three-finger "right click").  However, it is not recognized as a
touchpad, and as a result, there is no way to affect the settings.
I've been through every troubleshooting option around.

Problem is consistent in both 9.04 and the 9.10 alpha.

I have a feeling the fact that it's seeing this as a logitech wheel
mouse, has something to do with the problem.  I've just been unable to
convince it otherwise.
