[Bug 1030500] Re: No right click on ELAN Touchpad - ASUS N56VZ

 

sami, as per
http://www.asus.com/Notebooks_Ultrabooks/N56VZ/#support_Download_8 an
update is available for your BIOS (217). If you update to this, does it
change anything?

If not, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command:
sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date

Thank you for your understanding.

Title:
  [ASUS N56VZ] No right click on ELAN Touchpad

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I have an Asus N56VZ laptop, whitch comes with an ELAN Touhpad.
  I'm using ubuntu 12.04.

  The touchpad is made of a fully sensitive area, and features no phisical button (the whole sensitive area is itself a single mechanical button)
  According from where you press the touchpad (the left side or the right side), you get a left or right click: this is the (correct) behaviour under windows, but not on linux.

  --> On linux you always get a left click, wether i click on the right
  or left side of the touchpad.

  I guess that the driver should analyse the location where the user
  press the touchpad and return either a left or right click.
