Title:
Latest ASUS trackpad doesn't work in Ubuntu

Status in Linux:
In Progress
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed

Bug description:
It seems there might be a new hardware variant of the elan trackpad in
the newer ASUS machines.

The issue is the shown here with some reasonably deep investigation.
Is this something that I can do or am I reduced to having to find out
a mouse if I want to use Linux?
