Comment 11 for bug 875154

Hi Seth,

I went through the code in the .deb file and I figured out what's going on. So the max_proto that's set is an enum value of 5, which is PSMOUSE_IMPS. Elantech won't even get checked unless it's higher than PSMOUSE_IMEX, which is 6.

So what I ended up doing is this:

$ sudo rmmod psmouse
$ sudo modprobe psmouse proto=any

And boom, it recognized as elantech. I've included the dmesg to show you. I can definitely set this option in the modprobe config for this module, but is that all I can do? Is there anything else that would set the max_proto for me automatically?
