[Kamui <kamui.rouch@xxxxxxxxx>]

I confirm this bug in Karmic (2.6.31-16-generic) with an Asus UL30A-
QX105V laptop.

I have the same result as everyone else : a working touchpad but
misrecognized as an "ImPS/2 Logitech Wheel Mouse" and therefore not
taken care by Synaptics driver.

I tried to reload the psmouse module with each "proto" parameter option with no luck.
I tried to compile an old kernel provided by the package linux-source-2.6.31 with and without a patch to add an "elantech" parameter to the psmouse module ( http://git.array.org/?p=array/ubuntu-intrepid.git;a=commit;h=4e03ed0eabce7165c932a50c94fc8ee53ba23c4f ) but neither of them worked.

It is very annoying not to be able to fine tune the touchpad via Synaptics even if it works ok for a basic usage.
I would be very happy to provide further information/testing if needed. Thank you
