Add support for mini10vs using the mini10's Elantech touchpad

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Suggested Enhancement: I know those of us who have done the swap are in the
minority and thus low priority, but since you're going to be reworking the
synaptics driver in the near future, it'd be nice to have
configurations/drivers for the mini10's Elantech multi-touch touchpad as well.

By default, OSx seems to see this touchpad as a regular mouse and therefore
allows very basic configuration through the mouse prefpane. Ideally, it'd
be a nice enhancement to allow access to the same touchpad prefpane used
for multi-touch macintoshes, but added support for this trackpad to your
synaptics prefpane would be acceptable.

What netbook are you using this on?
Mini10v using .8.2 and OSx 10.5.8

What works out of the box:
* Single finger tap to click is 100% reliable.
* Two finger scrolling works as expected.
* Two-finger taps seems to act as a middle mouse click.
* Three-finger taps brings up the right click context menu.
* Double-tapping to drag.
* Hardware buttons work without any of the jumpiness of the of the stock
10v touchpad.

Features needed for macintosh multitouch parity:
* Three finger flicks - flick left = go back/to the left/next page/etc,
flick right = go forward/to the right/next page/etc.
* Four finger flicks - left/right switches apps (brings up the cmd+tab
interface), flick down hides all apps (just like expose), and flick up
shows them all (expose show all windows).
* Rotation gestures - rotate two fingers on the trackpad to rotate stuff.
* Pinch gestures - zoom in/out

I'd be willing to help with any further information you may need as well as
any beta testing. As always, thank you meklort for all the hard work!

This is a work in progress. I've already begun, however I haven't been working 
on it recently (with Snow 
Leopard). It's not too high on my priority list, but I'll try to get something 
working.

A missing feature I forgot to add and the one most desperately needed in my 
opinion
is an option to disable the trackpad while typing.

As someone who has done the trackpad switch I would also like to offer my 
services for 
any beta testing or further information you might need.

Again, thanks Meklort for all the hard work.

Hi Meklort, I understand you are probably snowed under with updates to RC5 
(great work 
BTW!!!!) but have you got any idea if an Elantech driver is even possible?

I just purchased a Magic Mouse which requires a much higher sensitivity than 
the 1010 
trackpad (which also appears as a mouse).  At the moment I have written an 
Applescript 
to adjust the tracking sensitivity when I switch between the pad and the mouse 
but it 
would be better if I could configure the pad separately as an actual touchpad 
:-)

At the moment, the extend the driver I've written just detects if it's an 
elantech touchpad or not. It's very 
possible to finish the driver, I just haven't had time / not too important as I 
don't have an elantech touchpad 
mounted in my mini 10v. I may look into purchasing the 1010 palmrest in the 
future, without doing that I 
probably won't work on it much.
