[Bug 1504445] Re: FocalTech touchpad stops working after suspend
Pilot6, my ubuntu is a fresh install of 14.04 and I didn't install in purpose any pilot for Elantech driver....
About kernel, I didn't install kernel 3.13 and neither 3.19 by myself, I guess they have been installed during the fresh install and some update.
The only thing I did myself was to install kernel 4.1.6 because I read
somewhere that it makes the system recognise the touchpad. My problem at
that time was not to solve the problem after suspending the computer but
to make my touchpad recognise and not just be a simple mouse.
If that was wrong, I didn't know about your pilot, I've just discovered
it this morning when I was researching more.
What should I do now?

Title:
FocalTech touchpad stops working after suspend
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
I have an Asus V502LX the persian version of the Asus K501LX.
I have Ubuntu 14.04 installed and the kernel 4.1.6 installed. I had to
install the kernel 4.1.6 to have the touchpad recognised. Under kernel
3.19.30, as I am running now to file in this bug, the touchpad is
recognised as a simple mouse (no two fingers scrolling...) and the
problem I am describing below is also present...
I noticed one problem. The Focaltech touchpad is not working after
suspending the computer.
Here is what I could find about the touchpad in
/proc/bus/input/devices
I: Bus=0011 Vendor=0002 Product=0012 Version=0000
N: Name="FocalTechPS/2 FocalTech FocalTech Touchpad"
P: Phys=isa0060/serio1/input0
S: Sysfs=/devices/platform/i8042/serio1/input/input5
U: Uniq=
H: Handlers=mouse0 event4
B: PROP=5
B: EV=b
B: KEY=e520 10000 0 0 0 0
B: ABS=260800000000003
Before suspending the computer, I can deactivate and activate again
the touchpad with the hotkey of my keyboard without problem. However,
once the computer suspended, nothing work to re-activate the touchpad.
I tried a solution given on internet but it doesn't work properly.
I created a file here /etc/pm/sleep.d/0000trackpad
sudo gedit /etc/pm/sleep.d/0000trackpad
and add the following
#!/bin/sh
case "$1" in
suspend|hibernate)
modprobe -r psmouse;
resume|thaw)
modprobe psmouse;
esac
With this file, the computer refuse to suspend. The touchpad keep
working so it does something but I can't make my computer sleeping...
