serio4 was indeed the device for which the program worked.

All five fingers are registered and give plenty of output.

What would the steps be to make this translate into cursor movement and button
presses? Currently this eats all of the input and transforms it into console
output, as far as I can see.

Title:
  Touchpad detected as mouse on Asus ux303ln laptop

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Hi! I'm following the bug reporting documentation here:

  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingTouchpadDetection#In_case_Touchpad_features_like_scrolling.2C_tapping.2C_etc._do_not_work_at_all.

  The touchpad on my new Asus ux303ln laptop is detected as a mouse, so
  I can't access touchpad features such as two-finger scrolling.

  The laptop was very recently released and I couldn't find any
  outstanding firmware updates for it through Asus's Windows-based
  tools.

  % lsb_release -rd
  Description:	Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS
  Release:	14.04

  Per the instructions on the wiki, I'm attaching output from
  /proc/bus/input/devices,` xinput --list`, and /var/log/Xorg.0.log.

  This machine also has a touchscreen, which I'm fairly certain is the
  "maXtouch digitizer" visible in the logs. I haven't yet restarted in
  Windows to see if it says anything useful about the touchpad, but I
  can do so if that's helpful. This is a fresh install of 14.04 and I
  haven't done much customization of it apart from installing some
  applications and changing the default resolution.

  The only relevant bit I noticed in /var/log/dmesg is this:

  [    3.967547] input: PS/2 Logitech Wheel Mouse as
