Public bug reported: I've got an ASUS E403SA notebook with Ubuntu 15.10 and kernel 4.2.0-23-generic from default repository. The touchpad is in PS/2 mouse emulation mode so multitouch like two-finger scrolling is not available.
Dmesg output attached and xinput --list shows: ⎡ Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)] ⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)] ⎜ ↳ ELAN1000:00 04F3:0401 id=11 [slave pointer (2)] ⎣ Virtual core keyboard id=3 [master keyboard (2)] ↳ Virtual core XTEST keyboard id=5 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Power Button id=6 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Video Bus id=7 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Sleep Button id=8 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ USB2.0 VGA UVC WebCam id=10 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Asus WMI hotkeys id=12 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ AT Translated Set 2 keyboard id=13 [slave keyboard (3)] The correct driver merged in 4.3.x kernel so I decided to test it from mainline repo http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ With kernel 4.3.x and newer the touchpad recognised correctly and multitouch works. After a while (minutes, sometimes hours) the touchpad completely freezes with this message in syslog: Jan 5 20:55:27 darkslide-notebook kernel: [ 1531.867948] i2c_designware 808622C1:03: Unknown Synopsys component type: 0x00000000 Jan 5 20:55:27 darkslide-notebook kernel: [ 1531.893399] i2c_designware 808622C1:03: timeout in enabling adapter Jan 5 20:55:28 darkslide-notebook kernel: [ 1532.892319] i2c_designware 808622C1:03: controller timed out Jan 5 20:55:28 darkslide-notebook kernel: [ 1532.892334] i2c_designware 808622C1:03: Unknown Synopsys component type: 0x00000000 Jan 5 20:55:28 darkslide-notebook kernel: [ 1532.892343] elan_i2c i2c-ELAN1000:00: failed to read report data: -110 ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 15.10 Package: linux-image-4.2.0-23-generic 4.2.0-23.28 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.2.0-23.28-generic 4.2.6 Uname: Linux 4.2.0-23-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.19.1-0ubuntu5 Architecture: amd64 AudioDevicesInUse: USER PID ACCESS COMMAND /dev/snd/controlC0: darkslide 1511 F.... pulseaudio Date: Wed Jan 20 08:33:06 2016 HibernationDevice: RESUME=UUID=2e8dbaca-618a-4aff-95bf-a134e77a2ea5 InstallationDate: Installed on 2015-12-11 (39 days ago) InstallationMedia: Xubuntu 15.10 "Wily Werewolf" - Release amd64 (20151021) MachineType: ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC.
