    Touchpad much less usable after moving to 24 from 22

    I'm using a fairly old laptop (Lenovo G580) and recently, after installing a new SSD, decided to install U24 rather than U22 which was running on it previously. However, compared to the touchpad options in System Settings in 22, the options in 24 are severely limited e.g. setting edge width, setting tap pressure, configuring tap behaviour (e.g. corner tap for right click) all missing. Having run xinput list I notice that the touchpad is shown as an Elantech touchpad:



    Now I'm pretty sure that in my previous U22 install the touchpad was treated as a Synaptic device, which I'm assuming is why there were so many additional config options available. As such, is there any way I can replace the current Elan device drivers with Synaptic device drivers and restore the touchpad functionality I previously enjoyed?
