[Solved] Asus N552vw - Elan Touchpad problem

Hey Guyes
I bought a new Asus N552-vw and install an arch on it.
the problm is my touchpad isn't working properly!
1-i can't tap to click
2-i can't click right via button
3-every time i touch, the touchpad the cursor moves to far distance from last position, even if i touch just as close as possible to previous point.
...

The TouchPad is Elan
I installed "elantech-asustouchpad-dkms" from aur, no luck.

the ouput of

$ xinput list-props "Elan Touchpad"

is

Device 'Elan Touchpad':
