    OMG what a pain in the .... after upgrading I lost my wireless driver and had a heck of a time working through that but at long last working wireless and a mouse that doesn't have a mind of it's own! Great work!

    Since this does its work on the X in memory it is not persistent. If you log out and back in the mousepad will be active again. This is desired behavior for me as I occasionally need to be able to use the laptop without my external mouse.

    sudo apt-get install linux-source linux-headers-`uname -r` build-essential libncurses5 libncurses5-dev make-kpkg fakeroot
    What's make-kpkg? I wasn't able to locate the package.

    Brutal. That's a brainfart, sorry. It's kernel-package which has make-kpkg in it. I'm surprised nobody called me out on it!

    Thanks for the quick reply. I've applied the patch on Dell mini 10 running Karmic 2.6.31, and the touchpad now works as before, but when I run 'synclient AreaBottomEdge=600', the output is:
    synclient AreaBottomEdge=600
    Couldn't find synaptics properties. No synaptics driver loaded?
    same for 'syndaemon -i 1 -d'
    syndaemon -i 1 -d
    Unable to find a synaptics device.

    You're on a dell mini, did you force the version by manually editing the patch as in step 5.5?

    In the output from
    Code:
    grep -i elantech /var/log/messages
    You should see lines like 'elantech: assuming hardware version...' and 'synaptics capabilities query result'.

    I have the same touchpad on my Lenovo Ideapad Z560. What worked for me was the following:
    Code:
    sudo rmmod psmouse
    sudo modprobe psmouse proto=imps
    In order to make the change permanent you must add a file to /etc/modprobe.d/. The file must have .conf at the end. I named my file touchpad.conf. The file must have the following line:
    options psmouse proto=imps

    Hope this helps.

    If you're unsure what a command does then type
    Code:
    man command
