Bug#652678: linux-image-3.1.0-1-amd64: psmouse fails to autodetect Elan touchpad

["Andreas Ames" <Andreas.Ames@gmx.de>]

Hi Ben,

thanks for your information; I didn't even look at the code of the patch.  After having read your email, I've installed 3.2.0-rc7 from experimental.  As you assumed, it correctly identifies my Elan touchpad and the synaptics driver also works as expected.  Please close the issue.


Thanks again,

Andreas
