Hello,

   I recently purchased an Acer Aspire One (model A0275-0691). It has an
elantech touchpad. As detailed in this bug:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=848270 the acer-wmi driver
has two issues on this device.

#1) It is sending TOUCHPAD_TOGGLE and simultaneously changing state
#2) It disables the touchpad at init

So I tested the patch provided here. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=848270

It definitely allows the Fn+F7 key combo to toggle the use of the mousepad. Unfortunately the mousepad comes up disabled and is very much confusing the users using the device. Is there somewhere I should look for what is causing that? I don't mind helping to debug the issue at all I just don't know where to start.

Thanks,
