Comment 0 for bug 318722

My Logitech PS/2 USB mouse on PS/2 adapter is mistaken by 2.6.28 kernel for Elantech Touchpad

Relevant kernel patch: http://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/319/

I'm currently using a workaround suggested here:
http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=482408

That is to add line

options psmouse proto=imps

into /etc/modprobe.d/options

and it works.

I've attached lshal output before and after the workaround.

Thanks,

Sergey Romanov
