I have tried with latest kernel ( 4.4 ) and it fails to even boot. I think you should try with ubuntu 16.04 ( haven't tried myself though ).
This is what I have learnt during this period : Kernels below 4.3 Add these Kernel parameters : "nouveau.modeset=0 tpm_tis.interrupts=0 acpi_osi=! acpi_backlight=native i915.preliminary_hw_support=1 idle=nomwait" For kernel 4.4 nouveau.modeset=0 acpi_osi=! acpi_backlight=native idle=nomwait Hope it helps. if it helps, I have also tried "Fedora 23 + dnf update", and the touchpad works perfectly fine with kernel 4.3 along with other things. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1520519 Title: ASUS ROG GL552 TouchPad not detected To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1520519/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
