 Heya,
 
 Adding some more debugging info.
 
 It seems that T480s only uses some limited i2c functionality, and is in
 fact a PS/2 touchpad, which would explain why the patch doesn't work.
 
 My suspicion now is that the Elantech driver that is built into NetBSD
 only supports version 2, whereas the version used by T480s is version
 4. I found this by checking dmesg on linux:
 
 [    6.292103] psmouse serio1: elantech: assuming hardware version 4
 (with firmware version 0x7f3001)
 
 So the solution to this could be to port over the elantech v4
 functionality from OpenBSD or FreeBSD, since they both support this model.
