+Currently the Linux Elantech touchpad driver is aware of four different
+hardware versions unimaginatively called version 1,version 2, version 3
+and version 4. Version 1 is found in "older" laptops and uses 4 bytes per
+packet. Version 2 seems to be introduced with the EeePC and uses 6 bytes
+per packet, and provides additional features such as position of two fingers,
+and width of the touch. Hardware version 3 uses 6 bytes per packet (and
+for 2 fingers the concatenation of two 6 bytes packets) and allows tracking
+of up to 3 fingers. Hardware version 4 uses 6 bytes per packet, and can
+combine a status packet with multiple head or motion packets. Hardware version
+4 allows tracking up to 5 fingers.
+
+Some Hardware version 3 and version 4 also have a trackpoint which uses a
+separate packet format. It is also 6 bytes per packet.
The driver tries to support both hardware versions and should be compatible
with the Xorg Synaptics touchpad driver and its graphical configuration
utilities.
+Note that a mouse button is also associated with either the touchpad or the
+trackpoint when a trackpoint is available. Disabling the Touchpad in xorg
+(TouchPadOff=0) will also disable the buttons associated with the touchpad.
+
Additionally the operation of the touchpad can be altered by adjusting the
contents of some of its internal registers. These registers are represented
by the driver as sysfs entries under /sys/bus/serio/drivers/psmouse/serio?

A chapter is added to describe the trackpoint packets. A section is added to describe the behaviour of the knob crc_enabled in sysfs. The introduction of the documentation only mentioned v1/v2, but in the last part it already contains explanation of v3 and v4. The introduction is updated.
