I had abandoned Linux distros for a while because the shitty support for Razer products, but for work reasons I installed Ubuntu 14.04 back (I tried Ubuntu 14.10 on my Blade, but the system crashes every time I shut down or log out). I didn't expect multitouch would work since it didn't work on Ubuntu when I tried it months ago (it worked on Debian though, see #23).
But after I upgraded the kernel to 3.17.8-031708-generic, the multitouch worked again! It now works both on the first boot and on reboots, so I'm very happy with it. However, I've noticed that the multitouch driver is not stable. Many things could affect it. For example, when the bumblebee driver is installed with sudo apt-get install bumblebee primus multitouch doesn't work, but removing the above and installing the driver with sudo apt-get install bumblebee-nvidia primus can fix the problem. Also, some people said multitouch didn't work on the first boot, it only worked after a reboot. Here's the solution: http://zhehou.blogspot.com.au/2014/07/razer-blade-14-touchpad- multitouch-in.html I also found that after I connect the Blade with an external monitor, multitouch won't work after reboot (it'd still be working if I don't reboot or shutdown, of course). It won't even work after I unplug the external monitor and reboot. However, it will work if I unplug the monitor, completely shut down, and then boot up. I guess it had something to do with the xrandr command I used for setting up the resolutions and scalings for dual monitor. Wired, but at least it works. -- 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/1315360 Title: [Razer Blade] Trackpad detected as mouse only Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: The trackpad works as a mouse and tap-to-click works, but no scrolling (neither two-finger nor edge) ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 14.04 Package: linux-image-3.13.0-24-generic 3.13.0-24.46 [modified: boot/vmlinuz-3.13.0-24-generic] ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.13.0-24.46-generic 3.13.9 Uname: Linux 3.13.0-24-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia ApportVersion: 2.14.1-0ubuntu3 Architecture: amd64 AudioDevicesInUse: USER PID ACCESS COMMAND /dev/snd/controlC0: mike 1570 F.... pulseaudio /dev/snd/controlC1: mike 1570 F.... pulseaudio CurrentDesktop: Unity Date: Fri May 2 08:45:39 2014 HibernationDevice: RESUME=UUID=ba977027-c742-470c-9a92-199f27ebea08 InstallationDate: Installed on 2014-04-30 (1 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 14.04 LTS "Trusty Tahr" - Release amd64 (20140417) MachineType: Razer Blade ProcFB: 0 inteldrmfb ProcKernelCmdLine: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-3.13.0-24-generic root=UUID=c72e4937-c906-4466-8990-b28729f9d39d ro quiet splash RelatedPackageVersions: linux-restricted-modules-3.13.0-24-generic N/A linux-backports-modules-3.13.0-24-generic N/A linux-firmware 1.127 SourcePackage: linux UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) dmi.bios.date: 03/24/2014 dmi.bios.vendor: RAZER dmi.bios.version: 2.24 dmi.board.asset.tag: NULL dmi.board.name: RAZER dmi.board.vendor: RAZER dmi.board.version: 1.00 dmi.chassis.asset.tag: ABCDEF dmi.chassis.type: 10 dmi.chassis.vendor: RAZER dmi.chassis.version: N/A dmi.modalias: dmi:bvnRAZER:bvr2.24:bd03/24/2014:svnRazer:pnBlade:pvr2.04:rvnRAZER:rnRAZER:rvr1.00:cvnRAZER:ct10:cvrN/A: dmi.product.name: Blade dmi.product.version: 2.04 dmi.sys.vendor: Razer To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1315360/+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
