Package: linux-image-3.2.0-4-686-pae
Version: 3.2.51-1
Severity: normal

The Acer Aspire V5-131 has an Elantech clickpad. The kernel seems to
misdetect this, similar to described in #633595. 

The button areas at the bottom do not work, and it's not possible
to click with one finger and drag with another finger. This makes it
quite frustrating to use.

Relevant dmesg:

Oct 24 17:28:42 garlic kernel: [    9.649265] psmouse serio1: elantech: assuming hardware version 4 (with firmware version 0x461f02)
Oct 24 17:28:42 garlic kernel: [    9.715322] psmouse serio1: elantech: Synaptics capabilities query result 0x01, 0x16, 0x0c.
Oct 24 17:28:42 garlic kernel: [    9.859819] fbcon: inteldrmfb (fb0) is primary device
Oct 24 17:28:42 garlic kernel: [    9.923023] input: ETPS/2 Elantech Touchpad as /devices/platform/i8042/serio1/input/input7

I installed
http://people.debian.org/~julien/lp681904/psmouse-elantech-lp681904-1.tar.bz2
and this fixed the problem. Now dmesg has:

[    6.737669] elantech: assuming hardware version 3, firmware version 70.31.2
[    6.798650] elantech: Synaptics capabilities query result 0x01, 0x16, 0x0c.
[    7.051071] elantech: failed to initialise registers.
[    7.051131] elantech: failed to put touchpad into absolute mode.
[    7.302514] input: PS/2 Elantech Touchpad as /devices/platform/i8042/serio1/input/input8

And the button areas and click+drag work.

Hi

This bug was filed for a very old kernel or the bug is old itself
without resolution.

If you can reproduce it with

- the current version in unstable/testing
- the latest kernel from backports

please reopen the bug, see https://www.debian.org/Bugs/server-control
for details.

Regards,
Salvatore
