You have been subscribed to a public bug: I've done a fresh install of Ubuntu 16.04 on my Asus G501 but the two finger scrolling isn't working. The touchpad works but sometimes after restarting it doesn't get detected and so I have to shutdown in order to get it working again.
I'm running the latest bios for my model 206, and have updated to the mainline kernel 4.6. My xinput list shows the following; Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)] ⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)] ⎜ ↳ FTE1001:00 0B05:0101 id=11 [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)] ↳ Video Bus id=8 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Sleep Button id=9 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ USB2.0 HD UVC WebCam id=10 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Asus WMI hotkeys id=12 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ AT Translated Set 2 keyboard id=13 [slave keyboard (3)] WORKAROUND: https://github.com/vlasenko/hid-asus-fte-dkms --- ApportVersion: 2.20.1-0ubuntu2.1 Architecture: amd64 AudioDevicesInUse: USER PID ACCESS COMMAND /dev/snd/controlC0: josh 1684 F.... pulseaudio CurrentDesktop: Unity DistroRelease: Ubuntu 16.04 HibernationDevice: RESUME=UUID=79b14c98-ef5a-4add-a8b0-8529f66d7165 InstallationDate: Installed on 2016-05-28 (5 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 16.04 LTS "Xenial Xerus" - Release amd64 (20160420.1) Lsusb: Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub Bus 001 Device 003: ID 8087:0a2a Intel Corp.
