Hi Vasily,

Thanks for your mail & information. We would start the investigation
and give you feedback later.
Please wait.

I checked the E7 & EC information and think it should be a Rushmore device.
Could you please let me know after you use V5 protocol, if touchpad
still be recognized as "AlpsPS/2 ALPS DualPoint TouchPad" or returns
to "PS/2 Generic Mouse" ?

Thanks
