Vishneda on rog.asus.com forum reported touchpad working with kernel
4.3.3 but i2c_designware bus support must be compiled as kernel module:


> I am able to boot with 4.2.x and 4.3.x. However, I am using 4.3.3 and have been since mid December when it came out.

> If you boot with nolapic, you won't have full use of the hardware and
cpu threading will be disabled. I had no issues using the machine this
way, but it was only supporting one thread of cpu activity instead of 8
as it should be. Using the kernel parameters I provided, I am booting
various distributions (CentOS, Fedora, Arch, Elementary as examples)
with no issues.

> I do have new information to share. Fedora recently rolled out 4.3.3
as a kernel support and I upgraded to this today. With the new Fedora
4.3.3 kernel, I have full use of the touchpad . The reason is actually
something I missed/didn't know about the hardware under the hood. In
order to get the touchpad working, the i2c_designware bus support must
be compiled as a kernel module. I didn't have that in previous builds
and thus, I was unable to use the touchpad. As of tonight, I am using
the touchpad, all function keys, and full hardware support on this
machine running on Linux!

> If you can tolerate (or like) Fedora, I would recommned getting the
Fedora 23 distribution and installing this on your machine. In order to
install, you may need to use the "4.2.x" kernel parameters I provided
above. Once you get it booted, you can run "dnf update" and upgrade to
the latest kernel, which will be 4.3.3. From there, you will need to use
the "4.3.x" kernel parameters I provided above. Using this distro and
the parameters I listed, this machine is functioning quite well on
Linux.

> I hope this helps. I will check back in a couple of days to see if it
worked for you.
