I confirm this bug in Karmic (2.6.31-16-generic) with an Asus UL30A- QX105V laptop.
I have the same result as everyone else : a working touchpad but misrecognized as an "ImPS/2 Logitech Wheel Mouse" and therefore not taken care by Synaptics driver. I tried to reload the psmouse module with each "proto" parameter option with no luck. I tried to compile an old kernel provided by the package linux-source-2.6.31 with and without a patch to add an "elantech" parameter to the psmouse module ( http://git.array.org/?p=array/ubuntu-intrepid.git;a=commit;h=4e03ed0eabce7165c932a50c94fc8ee53ba23c4f ) but neither of them worked. It is very annoying not to be able to fine tune the touchpad via Synaptics even if it works ok for a basic usage. I would be very happy to provide further information/testing if needed.
