[Bug 1372609] Re: Touchpad detected as mouse on Asus ux303ln laptop

 

Hello,

Asus Zenbook UX303LN-R4281H here (99% sure same hardware for UX303LN-
R4318H). Upon a fresh install of Ubuntu 14.04, touchpad (FocalTech) is
detected as mouse, so no scrolling possible. With kernel 3.19 it was
detected as touchpad but in mouse emulation mode. Kernel 4.0rc2 or
patched kernels in this thread (tried esp. 3.7) made it work like a
charm. Thanks guys!

However, both kernels broke nvidia module. I found some patches to fix
compilation but still I am struggling to make them work (e.g.
http://goo.gl/O3VWi5 made possible to compile the nvidia module for
kernel 4.0, but I cannot load it in any way).

I understand it's a slightly different problem, but does anyone has a
suggestion what could I try? Does anyone have now touchpad AND nvidia
module working?

Thanks!

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:
