Elantech Touchpad Woes - Support for Elantech touchpads over i2c/SMBus still possibly missing

[Albert]

Michael,

Good to know you still have plans to work on that eventually. It'd be 
much appreciated.

Looking at the source for your cyapa driver, I see you've ported it from 
the DragonFlyBSD driver (and they in turn adapted it from the Linux 
one). I should've looked into that earlier... Instead I spent most of my 
day trying to get OpenBSD running to try and follow Tom's hint at 
possible support there, but I had so many more issues along the way that 
in the end I figured "if I'm having trouble even getting a keyboard to 
work on this with my system, a touchpad will likely be the least of my 
worries."

So, I'm back to my FreeBSD CURRENT install, still no touchpad support 
(obviously). I guess I'll be doing some more research on these things 
and tinkering with what I find. Unfortunately, I'm moving overseas in a 
couple of weeks and leaving my desktop behind, which means I need to 
have this laptop in full working condition by then, so if I don't make 
any progress, I'll have to somewhat reluctantly go back to Linux for the 
time being. If/when that happens, I'll still be happy to help with any 
testing.

MfG,
