For some Dell laptops, Ubuntu had a special version of the elantech
driver with more knowledge on the devices. It can be found there:
http://zinc.ubuntu.com/git?p=mid-team/hardy-netbook.git;a=blob;f=drivers/input/mouse/elantech.c;h=d0e2cafed162428f72e3654f4dda85e08ea486b3;hb=refs/heads/abi-22
By inspecting the source code, and doing some test on a real hardware, I
have completed the protocol specification (especially for the 6 bytes
protocol). It also adds information about the mapping between the
version reported by the device and the protocol to use.

In older versions of the elantech hardware/firmware those bits always
were unset, so it didn't actually matter, but newer versions seem to
use those high bits for something else, screwing up the coordinates
we report to the input layer for those devices.

This is version 5 of the driver. Relative mode support has been
dropped (users wishing to use touchpad in relative mode can use
standard PS/2 protocol emulation done in hardware). The driver
supports both original version of Elantech protocol and the newer
one used by touchpads installed in EeePC.
