I have an Asus Q501LA laptop, and I've tried almost every custom kernel posted in the comments here. Not one has allowed my touchpad to work. Interestingly, all of the customer kernels seem to get rid of the odd behavior where the cursor keeps spontaneously jumping to the left a centimeter every five seconds or so, which is nice, but the touchpad still does not work.
I've tried booting with i8042.noloop=1 as well (and ran sudo update-grub after making the change), but to no avail. My touchpad only works if I boot with psmouse.proto=bare, but of course multi-touch functionality does not work, and my palm moves the cursor all over the place. This is quite annoying, as I was sure that at least one of these custom kernels which Pilot6 and Mathias have worked so arduously on would have worked. I know my cause may be hopeless at this point, but does anyone have any idea what might be wrong? -- 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/1372609 Title: Touchpad detected as mouse on Asus ux303ln laptop Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in linux package in Arch Linux: New Bug description: Hi! I'm following the bug reporting documentation here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingTouchpadDetection#In_case_Touchpad_features_like_scrolling.2C_tapping.2C_etc._do_not_work_at_all. The touchpad on my new Asus ux303ln laptop is detected as a mouse, so I can't access touchpad features such as two-finger scrolling. The laptop was very recently released and I couldn't find any outstanding firmware updates for it through Asus's Windows-based tools. % lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS Release: 14.04 Per the instructions on the wiki, I'm attaching output from /proc/bus/input/devices,` xinput --list`, and /var/log/Xorg.0.log. This machine also has a touchscreen, which I'm fairly certain is the "maXtouch digitizer" visible in the logs. I haven't yet restarted in Windows to see if it says anything useful about the touchpad, but I can do so if that's helpful. This is a fresh install of 14.04 and I haven't done much customization of it apart from installing some applications and changing the default resolution. The only relevant bit I noticed in /var/log/dmesg is this: [ 3.967547] input: PS/2 Logitech Wheel Mouse as /devices/platform/i8042/serio4/input/input11 ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 14.04 Package: linux-image-3.13.0-35-generic 3.13.0-35.62 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.13.0-35.62-generic 3.13.11.6 Uname: Linux 3.13.0-35-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.14.1-0ubuntu3.4 Architecture: amd64 AudioDevicesInUse: USER PID ACCESS COMMAND /dev/snd/controlC0: tim 2234 F.... pulseaudio /dev/snd/controlC1: tim 2234 F.... pulseaudio CurrentDesktop: Unity Date: Mon Sep 22 14:30:33 2014 HibernationDevice: RESUME=UUID=e6052f15-271a-4424-aac2-9b0ee1e490ed InstallationDate: Installed on 2014-09-22 (0 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS "Trusty Tahr" - Release amd64 (20140722.2) Lsusb: Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub Bus 001 Device 003: ID 03eb:8a32 Atmel Corp.
