Updated to 2.6.35 via apt-get. syndaemon now detects it properly and works fine. Right clicking (two finger tap) works. Center clicking (three finger tap) works. Scrolling does not work. System -> Preferences -> Touchpad -> Scrolling -> "Enable vertical scrolling" is checked.

If anyone else runs into this it can be easily resolved by this:
sudo apt-get install gpointing-device-settings
System -> Preferences -> Pointing Devices -> Scrolling -> "Enable vertical scrolling when dragging with two fingers"
(Note: this is separate from the "Enable vertical scrolling" checkbox)

Hopefully this will help anyone else who is facing "my elantech touchpad doesn't work right" problems. :-)
