Some recent update has caused the "Elantech touchpad" to stop working again
I tried downgrading "xserver-xorg-input-synaptics" and the kernel to previous versions but still no dice, anyone else having this issue?
Code:
mikelovell@laptop:~$ ~/Scripts/enable-clickpad.sh 12
mikelovell@laptop:~$ ~/Scripts/enable-rightbutton.sh 12
X Error of failed request: BadAtom (invalid Atom parameter)
Major opcode of failed request: 17 (X_GetAtomName)
Atom id in failed request: 0xb0002
Serial number of failed request: 23
Current serial number in output stream: 23

The source of the problem appears to be "xinput list 12" failing now:
Code:
mikelovell@laptop:~$ xinput list 12
ETPS/2 Elantech Touchpad id=12 [slave pointer (2)]
Reporting 10 classes:
Class originated from: 12. Type: XIButtonClass

Button labels: "Button Middle" "Button Right" "Button Wheel Up" "Button Wheel Down" "Button Horiz Wheel Left" "Button Horiz Wheel Right" None None None None None
Could someone perhaps give me the values of:
$left
$right
$top
$bottom
From "enable-rightbutton.sh". Maybe I can hard-code them and get right click back.
It was working perfectly beforehand, in fact everything was! (clickpad, excellent battery time, no hangs or crashes).
