[Bug 1386344] Re: Penpower Crystal Touch (ELAN TouchPad) not working

 

I've installed the latest upstream kernel, and I'm about to test, but
I'll report the installation messages first, because they mention
'elantech-v6 not found', which seems directly relevant:

Title:
  Penpower Crystal Touch (ELAN TouchPad) not working

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I'd like to use this USB touchpad for Chinese handwriting input, but it doesn't get recognised as an input device.
  It is recognised as a USB device:
  [ 5471.721520] usb 3-10: new low-speed USB device number 7 using xhci_hcd
  [ 5471.744182] usb 3-10: New USB device found, idVendor=1267, idProduct=0701
  [ 5471.744191] usb 3-10: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=0
  [ 5471.744197] usb 3-10: Product: TouchPad
  [ 5471.744201] usb 3-10: Manufacturer: ELAN
  [ 5471.744446] usb 3-10: ep 0x81 - rounding interval to 64 microframes, ep desc says 80 microframes
  [ 5471.749375] hid-generic 0003:1267:0701.0005: hiddev0,hidraw2: USB HID v1.10 Device [ELAN TouchPad] on usb-0000:00:14.0-10/input0

  but does not appear in the list of devices from xinput.
  cat /proc/bus/input/devices
  (attached as ipdev)
  so I'm following the instruction on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingTouchpadDetection to report this as a kernel bug.
