Elantech Touchpad Detected As PS/2 Elantech Mouse (Dell Vostro 3560)

Dear community,

I am facing troubles with my Dell Vostro 3560's Elantech Touchpad. It gets detected as PS/2 Elantech mouse.

[acs@einherij ~]$ xinput list
⎡ Virtual core pointer                    	id=2	[master pointer  (3)]
⎜   ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer              	id=4	[slave  pointer  (2)]
⎜   ↳ PS/2 Elantech Mouse                     	id=12	[slave  pointer  (2)]
⎣ Virtual core keyboard                   	id=3	[master keyboard (2)]
    ↳ Virtual core XTEST keyboard             	id=5	[slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ Power Button                            	id=6	[slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ Video Bus                               	id=7	[slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ Power Button                            	id=8	[slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ Sleep Button                            	id=9	[slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ Laptop_Integrated_Webcam_E4HD           	id=10	[slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ AT Translated Set 2 keyboard            	id=11	[slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ Dell WMI hotkeys                        	id=13	[slave  keyboard (3)]

Testwise. I installed from AUR the "psmouse-elantech" package (as mentioned in the Touchpad Synaptics article). After reboot, no effect at all, xinput gives the same output.

Can somebody point me in the correct direction please?
