Regarding turning on  CONFIG_MOUSE_PS2_ELANTECH...

According the kernel help text,

       Note that if you enable this driver you will need an updated
       X.org Synaptics driver that does not require ABS_PRESSURE
       reports from the touchpad (i.e. post 1.5.0 version). You can
       grab a patch for the driver here:

       http://userweb.kernel.org/~dtor/synaptics-no-abspressure.patch

The lenny version does not contain this patch.

As long as being able to backport a newer kernel to lenny is a goal, this 
driver shouldn't be turned on.

If there is a "lenny and a half" release that updates xorg drivers to a 
level where this patch is included, then the kernel team could consider 
turning on this driver in a newer provided kernel.

I have started a "lenny and a half" page on the wiki and added this issue 
to it
