--- Comment #3 from Peter Hutterer <peter.hutterer at who-t.net> ---
right, the problem here is that the device isn't recognised by the kernel as
touchpad device. The first event node event4 is a keyboard, the second node
event5 is a relative mouse with a few multimedia keys on top. The mouse
provides vert and horiz scroll wheels, but if the device physically is a
touchpad then it is still in mouse emulation mode. That's the common thing for
touchpads, they need some special sequence to switch them into absolute mode -
without that we cannot provide the various touchpad functions, palm detection
is one of those.

This device needs kernel support first.
