[Bug 1290517] Re: Asus R751L Notebook - Touchpad not recognized

 

Description of my bug is mouse does not work at all. Device is elantech ETD0108. Laptop is Asus TP500LN. Dmesg gives "lost sync at byte 6" messages. Mouse does work with proto=imps parameter but no two-finger functionality. If this is the same with you, after sudo su try
echo 1 > /sys/devices/platform/i8042/serio4/reg_07
(or serioX?)
and see if it fixes the issue.

For at least asus TP500LN a kernel patch is under consideration

Perhaps you can post on bugzilla that it affects your laptop too.
