Please try the attached dkms package containing a fix for the new hardware versions v9 and v10, probably you own one of them. Here are the steps you must follow:

sudo dkms ldtarball psmouse-elantech-x551c.tar.gz
sudo dkms install -m psmouse -v elantech-x551c

sudo rmmod psmouse
sudo modprobe psmouse

I'm also attaching the patch containing the relevant change, created against the latest kernel source. If the fix works I will send the patch to the linux-input list for inclusion.

I'm posting it here because this fix is still related to the original bug report (newer versions of the elantech multitouch trackpad not fully supported in Linux) but maybe it would be best to open a new bug report regarding v9 and v10 versions, with detailed information about the laptos on which they can be found.
