Bug Description
My Neo M54N model (a dorky China-based laptop model)
has a touchpad which used to work on 8.10 and below. It
stopped working as soon as I upgraded to 9.04. Given
that 9.04 has been around for some months I had expected
there to be fewer problems.
P.S. OT: Lynx sucks for browsing ubuntuforums.org
Similar to report by https:/ /answers. launchpad. net/ubuntu/ +question/ 69322, platform/ i8042/serio4/ input/input8 11/17/06 manufacturer: CLEVO Co. product- name:M5x0N
but that report wasn't followed up by the user.
I've tried to attach various log files but lynx is failing, badly :(
Anyway here's a very short section of Xorg.0.log:
(WW) ETPS/2 Elantech Touchpad can't grab event device, errno=16
(--) ETPS/2 Elantech Touchpad touchpad found
Here's a very short section of dmesg output:
[ 17.243642] elantech.c: assuming hardware version 1, firmware version 2.0
[ 17.275485] elantech.c: Synaptics capabilities query result 0x00, 0x02, 0x64.

Here's the laptop information, as best as I can determine:
