I am trying to get my touchpad working on an Acer Aspire TimelineX AS4830T-6642 but the touchpad is being recognized as a "Logitech Wheel Mouse".
I am unsure if the laptop is using an Elantech or Synaptics touchpad as it only seems to see the touchpad as a regular pointer. I have attached output that I think could be relevant. Let me know if anything else would be helpful.

I have found a kernel patch at https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=27442 that is suppose to fix the problem. Can anyone help guide me on patching the Arch kernel? I have installed ABS and created a build directory. Need some help with the pkgbuild though.

Post the pkgbuild so we can see what in is giving you trouble.
Doesn't the wiki address building a kernel with ABS?

Take a look at this thread, I think my lost post could help you: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 25#p973025

Awesome I will try your kernel module when I get home today. I will post an update later today.
