sami, as per http://www.asus.com/Notebooks_Ultrabooks/N56VZ/#support_Download_8 an update is available for your BIOS (217). If you update to this, does it change anything?
If not, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command: sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date Thank you for your understanding. ** Tags added: bios-outdated-217 needs-upstream-testing regression- potential ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Incomplete ** Summary changed: - No right click on ELAN Touchpad - ASUS N56VZ + [ASUS N56VZ] No right click on ELAN Touchpad -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1030500 Title: [ASUS N56VZ] No right click on ELAN Touchpad Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: I have an Asus N56VZ laptop, whitch comes with an ELAN Touhpad. I'm using ubuntu 12.04. The touchpad is made of a fully sensitive area, and features no phisical button (the whole sensitive area is itself a single mechanical button) According from where you press the touchpad (the left side or the right side), you get a left or right click: this is the (correct) behaviour under windows, but not on linux. --> On linux you always get a left click, wether i click on the right or left side of the touchpad. I guess that the driver should analyse the location where the user press the touchpad and return either a left or right click. dmesg status : [ 11.307542] psmouse serio4: elantech: assuming hardware version 4 (with firmware version 0x361f03) [ 11.344557] psmouse serio4: elantech: Synaptics capabilities query result 0x10, 0x15, 0x0d.
