[Bug 1407313] Re: Physical buttons of touchpad do not work on Asus N53S (ETPS/2 Elantech Touchpad)

 

Hi Joseph, 
thank you for your reply. 

No, this is not a new issue. I had it also on Linux Mint 16, and
previously Ubuntu 13.04 and, I believe, 12.10.

I installed the latest upstream kernel (uname -r gives:
3.19.0-031900rc3-generic), and the issue is still there. Click either of
the touchpad buttona and nothing happens (touchpad and tapping on
tapping work fine, same as with previous kernel).

Any workaround or other suggestions?

thanks!

Title:
  Physical buttons of touchpad do not work on Asus N53S (ETPS/2 Elantech
  Touchpad)

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Physical buttons for left and right button do not work at all on the
  touchpad of Asus N53S.

  I'm now on Linux Mint 17.1, but had the same issue previously on
  Ubuntu 13-10 (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2196970).

  I have not found any real workaround.

  Plugging in a mouse all works just fine.

  Find attached relevant log files.
