Hi,

I tried the following kernel:

3.18.0-031800rc4-generic

Which does have different behaviour, though I do not know whether to
count it as a 'bug exists upstream', or 'fixed upstream' change.

I no longer need to boot with psmouse.proto=bare to get basic touchpad
functionality. xinput now returns:

xinput --list
⎡ Virtual core pointer                    	id=2	[master pointer  (3)]
⎜   ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer              	id=4	[slave  pointer  (2)]
⎜   ↳ PS/2 FocalTech FocalTech Touchpad in mouse emulation mode	id=13	[slave  pointer  (2)]
⎜   ↳ Logitech Unifying Device. Wireless PID:400a	id=9	[slave  pointer  (2)]
⎣ Virtual core keyboard                   	id=3	[master keyboard (2)]
    ↳ Virtual core XTEST keyboard             	id=5	[slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ Power Button                            	id=6	[slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ Video Bus                               	id=7	[slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ Sleep Button                            	id=8	[slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ USB2.0 HD UVC WebCam                    	id=10	[slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ Asus WMI hotkeys                        	id=11	[slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ AT Translated Set 2 keyboard            	id=12	[slave  keyboard (3)]

Which shows the touchpad recognized as 'FocalTech Touchpad in mouse
emulation mode'. This appears to just provide basic touchpad
functionality, however, as I'm still unable to use any touchpad specific
features like two finger scrolling.

Please advise how to update the status.

Thanks!
Ben

Title:
  [Asus X550LA] The trackpad is not recognized

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  The trackpad is not recognized on my ASUS D550MA-DS01. xinputs --list
  shows no trackpad, and running synclient returns 'Couldn't find
  synaptics properties. No synaptics driver loaded?'. resort to using an
  external USB mouse, and run 'sudo modprobe -r psmouse' after booting
  to prevent random/unpredictable input occurring when I brush
  against/click the trackpad.

  WORKAROUND: Use kernel boot parameter:
  psmouse.proto=bare
