I have an Asus G752VT with the same behavior on ubuntu 16.04.1. Also tested the upstream kernel 4.8.10, but nothing has changed.
The touchpad is working fine. Tap to klick is working. Also holding the left click hardware button and mark something is working. But left and right click is not working with the hardware buttons. This has to be a config issue. Can someone point me to the richt config setting to test? -- 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/1407313 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.
