Elantech touchpad detected as ps/2 mouse kernel 3.1.5-1-desktop

Hi!

I’ve got OpenSUSE 11.4 with kernel 3.1.5-1-desktop.

My Elantech touchpad is not detected properly by the system. I thought that installing kernel 3.1.5-1 will solve the problem, but it didn’t.
Touchpad scroll doesn’t work. (On suse 12.1 fresh install it is also detected as ps/2 mouse).

cat /proc/bus/input/devices

I: Bus=0011 Vendor=0002 Product=0001 Version=0000
N: Name=“PS/2 Generic Mouse”
P: Phys=isa0060/serio1/input0
S: Sysfs=/devices/platform/i8042/serio1/input/input1

Can anyone help me?? The problem is not solved for over 1 year…

What does hwinfo say about your pointing device? You can see that in Yast’s hardware info or run

hwinfo --mouse

as root from a terminal.

Also did you check the HCL for your specific laptop brand/model?
