[SOLVED]PS/2 Elantech ET1059 Click Pad Complete Failure

This touch pad completely fails to work on an Acer Aspire M4. I see it listed as a Elantech ETF1059 Clickpad under virtual core pointer, which I believe means that it is pretending it is a mouse. It still doesn't work though Installing psmouse-elantech doesn't help, and neither does a google search. Can anyone shed some guidance on this? It's the last big hurdle on my friend's laptop. Let me know if there is anything useful I can provide

No, touchpads are usually under virtual core pointer (at least mine is, with multitouch working etc). The fact that it is there is a good start - can you post relevant part of 'xinput list', dmesg and the entry for the pad under 'cat /proc/bus/input/devices'?

This fixed itself. As it turns out, the touchpad was merely disabled by defauly. Hitting fn+f7 fixed the issue.
