[Bug 1483478] Re: Elantech touchpad not detected

 

apport information

** Tags added: apport-collected staging trusty

** Description changed:

  I am using a Gigabyte U24T laptop with a touchpad. My touchpad works on
  some boots but on others it goes missing without a trace. I have been
  told to look for it with 'xinput --list' and 'cat
  /proc/bus/input/devices' but neither of these return any touchpad
  related items. I have attached a link the output of the previously
  mentioned commands in their respective order.

  I can't give any information on the touchpad as it is currently in a
  non-working state, however, this may or may not change after a reboot. I
  believe it is an ElanTech touchpad.
  
  Not sure what else I can do with this problem, it really annoying to
  randomly loose mouse functionality sometimes. I don't think it is a
  problem with the device itself as there have never been any problems in
  my Windows 8 install. They are boot using different boot methods, Linux
  is using GRUB through BIOS and Windows in using UEFI.
  
  Hope this helps.
