Ok, the solution here for me was to update to the latest kernel headers/image (4.4 at this time) using some instructions something like this:
wget http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.4-rc3-wily/linux- headers-4.4.0-040400rc3_4.4.0-040400rc3.201511300321_all.deb wget http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.4-rc3-wily/linux- headers-4.4.0-040400rc3-generic_4.4.0-040400rc3.201511300321_i386.deb wget http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.4-rc3-wily/linux- image-4.4.0-040400rc3-generic_4.4.0-040400rc3.201511300321_i386.deb sudo dpkg -i linux-headers-4.4*.deb linux-image-4.4*.deb The latest linux kernel will detect the mousepad ok on the next boot, however, it doesn't include the keyboard drivers on boot to unlock the encrypted hard-drive at startup. You can bypass this by plugging in an old clickety-clackety usb keyboard and typing in the password there. To get around that permanently, alter the file: /etc/initramfs-tools/modules add these lines at the end of the file for some better boot-up keyboard/s driver support: hid hid-rmi hid-generic ohci_pci usbhid you may also try these lines for other keyboard support on various related devices: hid_logitech hid_logitech_dj hid-logitech-hidpp hid_microsoft hid_apple mac_hid as noted here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/initramfs- tools/+bug/1238194 specifically, I believe hid-rmi was the one the Razer Blade 14" wanted for keyboard support at boot HD encryption unlock time. You may also find you need the "touchpad fix" ala Alex Cabal, here: https://alexcabal.com/get-a-working-touchpad-on-a-14-razer-blade- running-linuxubuntu/ which includes the commands: synclient ClickPad=0 synclient PalmDetect=1 and adding a file to the system: /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/60-synaptics-options.conf containing the lines: Section "InputClass" Identifier "touchpad catchall" Driver "synaptics" MatchIsTouchpad "on" MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*" Option "PalmDetect" "1" Option "ClickPad" "0" EndSection -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1315360 Title: [Razer Blade] Trackpad detected as mouse only Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: The trackpad works as a mouse and tap-to-click works, but no scrolling (neither two-finger nor edge) ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 14.04 Package: linux-image-3.13.0-24-generic 3.13.0-24.46 [modified: boot/vmlinuz-3.13.0-24-generic] ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.13.0-24.46-generic 3.13.9 Uname: Linux 3.13.0-24-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia ApportVersion: 2.14.1-0ubuntu3 Architecture: amd64 AudioDevicesInUse: USER PID ACCESS COMMAND /dev/snd/controlC0: mike 1570 F.... pulseaudio /dev/snd/controlC1: mike 1570 F.... pulseaudio CurrentDesktop: Unity Date: Fri May 2 08:45:39 2014 HibernationDevice: RESUME=UUID=ba977027-c742-470c-9a92-199f27ebea08 InstallationDate: Installed on 2014-04-30 (1 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 14.04 LTS "Trusty Tahr" - Release amd64 (20140417) MachineType: Razer Blade ProcFB: 0 inteldrmfb ProcKernelCmdLine: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-3.13.0-24-generic root=UUID=c72e4937-c906-4466-8990-b28729f9d39d ro quiet splash RelatedPackageVersions: linux-restricted-modules-3.13.0-24-generic N/A linux-backports-modules-3.13.0-24-generic N/A linux-firmware 1.127 SourcePackage: linux UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) dmi.bios.date: 03/24/2014 dmi.bios.vendor: RAZER dmi.bios.version: 2.24 dmi.board.asset.tag: NULL dmi.board.name: RAZER dmi.board.vendor: RAZER dmi.board.version: 1.00 dmi.chassis.asset.tag: ABCDEF dmi.chassis.type: 10 dmi.chassis.vendor: RAZER dmi.chassis.version: N/A dmi.modalias: dmi:bvnRAZER:bvr2.24:bd03/24/2014:svnRazer:pnBlade:pvr2.04:rvnRAZER:rnRAZER:rvr1.00:cvnRAZER:ct10:cvrN/A: dmi.product.name: Blade dmi.product.version: 2.04 dmi.sys.vendor: Razer To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1315360/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages Post to : kernel-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
