Scroll on touchpads detected as Logitech Mouse

[Benuva]

It took me some time to find this, and since it's working perfectly now I'll just put it here.

I have an Asus K53E laptop, the touchpad was working but the 2-finger and side scroll didn't work at all.

SOLUTION:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install dkms
cd /usr/src/
sudo wget http://planet76.com/drivers/elantech/psmouse-elantech-v6.tar.bz2
sudo tar jxvf psmouse-elantech-v6.tar.bz2
sudo dkms add -m psmouse -v elantech-v6
sudo dkms build -m psmouse -v elantech-v6
sudo dkms install -m psmouse -v elantech-v6
sudo rmmod psmouse && sudo modprobe psmouse

Once this is done, go to Menu > Preferences > Mouse > Touchpad and activate the 2-finger scrolling.

It should work now, and should work for all the Elantech touchpads wrongly detected as generic Logitech ones.Also, I have alot more options than in weendows

Thanks so much for this article..
This really help me out of my problem!!

I start frustating that I cannot scroll using my touchpad, because my touchpad is detected as a general PS/2 Mouse.
After I follow your instruction, it's already fix now!!

Once more, Thanks so much..
