[Bug 1424293] Re: BYD trackpad detected as PS/2 mouse

 

Hi Christopher (penalvch),

I have installed this mainline kernel http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-
ppa/mainline/v4.1-rc4-unstable/

I was able to boot into the OS, check I was using the latest kernel
(output of uname -a: Linux Ubuntudore 4.1.0-040100rc4-generic
#201505181436 SMP Mon May 18 18:38:10 UTC 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64
GNU/Linux)

Unfortunately I was still unable to use two finger scrolling on the
trackpad and didn't experience any change in the trackpad behaviour from
the 3.19.0-18 kernel I was on before.

I'll add the tags and mark the status as confirmed now.

** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu)
       Status: Incomplete => Confirmed

** Tags added: kernel-bug-exists-upstream kernel-bug-exists-
upstream-4.1-rc4
