Hi, The same problem here with my ASUS X550CA. Touchpad does not work AT ALL on any recent Ubuntu version (and Mint, Debian live, Manjaro and some other distros as well).
Cursor jumps and the system freezes for a few minutes. However I have just tested PClinuxOS in live mode (KDE and Mate versions, burned on DVD-RW, as Unetbootin did not work on this distro) and the touchpad works fine for movements and clicks! (the only thing is the lack of scrolling -vertical or two-finger scrolling). PClinuxOS uses kernel: 3.18.1-pclos1 There's no way of changing settings for the touchpad, as only the USB mouse gets recognised in the Control Centre... Anyway, hope this helps some people who want the touchpad to work somehow on a GNU/Linux distro...Thanks -- 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/1323816 Title: [Asus X550CA] Touchpad not working in ubuntu 14.04 Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: The touchpad functions properly on my X550CA laptop under Windows 8 64bit.
