[Bug 1520519] Re: ASUS ROG GL552 TouchPad not detected

 

Hi,
I'm experiencing almost all the above bugs by trying to install Linux on an Asus ROG GL552VW.
I tested Ubuntu 16.04, Debian 8 and Mint 17.3.

The main issues are:

- Ubuntu 16.04: no backlight keys, cpu fan always at maximum speed
- Debian 8: no special keys at all, cpu fan always at maximum speed, touchpad not detected
- Mint 17.3: no backlight keys, cpu fan always at maximum speed, touchpad not detected

By searching around for a few days I found out that the best
configuration, at least for my laptop, is the following:

- Linux Mint 17.3

- grub optins: acpi_osi=! acpi_backlight=native

- create a file /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/80-backlight.conf
and copy the following code inside:
Section "Device"
    Identifier  "Intel Graphics"
    Driver      "intel"
    Option      "AccelMethod"     "sna"
    Option      "Backlight"       "intel_backlight" # use your backlight that works here
    BusID       "PCI:0:2:0"
EndSection

in this way the backlight keys and cpu fan work but I still have no
touchpad.

I tried several kernels, starting from version 4.3 trackpad works but I
get video artifacts with both the open source and the proprietary nvidia
driver.

I can provide further details and logs if needed, just tell me which
ones you need.

Maurizio
