Ok, the solution here for me was to update to the latest kernel headers/image (4.4 at this time) using some instructions something like this:
wget http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.4-rc3-wily/linux- headers-4.4.0-040400rc3_4.4.0-040400rc3.201511300321_all.deb wget http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.4-rc3-wily/linux- headers-4.4.0-040400rc3-generic_4.4.0-040400rc3.201511300321_i386.deb wget http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.4-rc3-wily/linux- image-4.4.0-040400rc3-generic_4.4.0-040400rc3.201511300321_i386.deb sudo dpkg -i linux-headers-4.4*.deb linux-image-4.4*.deb The latest linux kernel will detect the mousepad ok on the next boot, however, it doesn't include the keyboard drivers on boot to unlock the encrypted hard-drive at startup. You can bypass this by plugging in an old clickety-clackety usb keyboard and typing in the password there. To get around that permanently, alter the file: /etc/initramfs-tools/modules add these lines at the end of the file for some better boot-up keyboard/s driver support: hid hid-rmi hid-generic ohci_pci usbhid you may also try these lines for other keyboard support on various related devices: hid_logitech hid_logitech_dj hid-logitech-hidpp hid_microsoft hid_apple mac_hid as noted here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/initramfs- tools/+bug/1238194 specifically, I believe hid-rmi was the one the Razer Blade 14" wanted for keyboard support at boot HD encryption unlock time. You may also find you need the "touchpad fix" ala Alex Cabal, here: https://alexcabal.com/get-a-working-touchpad-on-a-14-razer-blade- running-linuxubuntu/ which includes the commands: synclient ClickPad=0 synclient PalmDetect=1 and adding a file to the system: /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/60-synaptics-options.conf containing the lines: Section "InputClass" Identifier "touchpad catchall" Driver "synaptics" MatchIsTouchpad "on" MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*" Option "PalmDetect" "1" Option "ClickPad" "0" EndSection -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1315360 Title: [Razer Blade] Trackpad detected as mouse only To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1315360/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
