Elan Touchpad Configuration
Hi,
Recently my trusty old Lenovo Z50 broke (mechanical problem) I have replaced it with a Lenovo V130 and moved the SSD with my LFS/BLFS system in to it.
With the kernel (version 5.5.8) reconfigure to match the new driver requirements I was off and running everything is as it was apart from the touchpad which is behaving strangely.
The cursor moves as expected but button presses all seem to be "left button" and if you don't keep a finger on the touchpad the cursor slides 2-3 inches to the left and down !!!?
The following are things I have found on my system:
dmesg:
[??? 3.032043] elan_i2c i2c-ELAN0618:00: Elan Touchpad: Module ID: 0x005b, Firmware: 0x0001, Sample: 0x0002, IAP: 0x000d

/etc/sysconfig/mouse:

I would like to configure a simple no tapping emulated 3 button mouse.
Following a discusion with LFS/BLFS I have performed I have updated my Linux kernel to 5.5.11, evdev to 1.9.0, libinput to 1.15.4 (actually updated all of X11 environment to latest) and updated udev to 3.2.9 all with no effect.
Is this a bug or just a miss configuration on my part?
Thanks
Stuart
