Hello all The same happens to my laptop that I've bought a week ago (Asus FX503VM, GTX1060).
I had already seen that the touchpad had issues with the default 4.15 kernel on Ubuntu 18.04 that I have installed. Therefore I have installed Ukuu and managed to load later kernels. Indeed running 4.17.11 had the touchpad working perfectly (no stuttering and lag), but unfortunately with the freezing problem mentioned here, present. After some experimenting with the modules, I have realised that unloading and loading the i2c_hid module fixes the freeze. After the last post pointing at bugzilla for Fedora, I can verify that unloading and loading the i2c_hid module fixes the problem which is also caused by a five finger tap as stated there (for me it is sometimes caused even during the two finger scroll). I've now updated the kernel to 4.17.12 but the problem persists and no fix seems to be incorporated. IMHO, the problem is at the i2c_hid module. Let's hope that this will be fixed soon. -- 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/1778087 Title: ELAN1200 touchpad jumps around and disconnects Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: This is on an ASUS GL503VD laptop and would probably affect other ASUS laptops equipped with the ELAN1200 touchpad. I am on Kernel 4.17.2 because older kernels did not enable the touchpad at all(It was just unrecognized or i2c-hid stopped the computer from booting) The touchpad works but it has erratic behaviour and disconnects randomly. After it disconnects the only way to bring it back is to `modprobe -r hid-multitouch && modprobe hid-multitouch` Libinput and synaptics can handle the touchpad though I found synaptics to be more stable. dmesg gets spammed with this whenever I move the touchpad: [timestamp] i2c_hid i2c-ELAN1200:00: i2c_hid_get_input: incomplete report (16/65535) I tried to compile: https://github.com/mishurov/linux_elan1200_touchpad Because from what I understand the "jumpy/disconnect" problem is associated to the incomplete reports and Mishurov managed to mitigate those. Unfortunately some symbols were deprecated in kernel 4.17.2 and it did not compile for my system. While I can use my touchpad as is right now, and "restart" it with modprobe when needed, it would be nice to have it function bug-free. (Right after I typed this my touchpad disconnected and I needed to modprobe again, I am considering making a cronjob for that) Let me know if anything else is needed. Will wait for an apport collection to add log files. --- ProblemType: Bug ApportVersion: 2.20.9-0ubuntu7.2 Architecture: amd64 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 18.04 InstallationDate: Installed on 2018-06-10 (11 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 18.04 LTS "Bionic Beaver" - Release amd64 (20180426) NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia_modeset nvidia Package: linux (not installed) ProcEnviron: TERM=screen PATH=(custom, no user) XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=<set> LANG=en_CA.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash Tags: bionic Uname: Linux 4.17.2 x86_64 UnreportableReason: The running kernel is not an Ubuntu kernel UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) UserGroups: _MarkForUpload: True To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1778087/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages Post to : kernel-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
