I demand that Jean-Christophe Lacroix may or may not have written...

This is fixed upstream in 2.6.31.5, and the changelog for
linux-image-2.6.31-1-* says that it includes "stable release 2.6.31.5".

You should make sure that you're actually running this kernel.

See bug 522920.

We need somebody to properly test a partial upgrade from lenny (specifically,
a kernel from testing/unstable, though a backport will probably do, and X
from lenny) to see how well X copes with the touchpad (preferably with *one*
of xserver-xorg-input-mouse, -evdev and -synaptics present at any time).

(Updating http://wiki.debian.org/DebianEeePC/HowTo/ElantechTouchpad would be
of use too.)

I suspect that without this information, we're looking at squeeze being
released before CONFIG_MOUSE_PS2_ELANTECH is enabled...
