Support for the Asus touchpad has been introduced only recently: http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-input/msg48143.html From the development kernel git: "commit 9ce12d8be12c94334634dd57050444910415e45f Author: Brendan McGrath <red...@redmandi.dyndns.org> Date: Tue Nov 29 18:59:25 2016 +1100 HID: asus: Add i2c touchpad support Update the hid-asus module to add multitouch support for the Asus i2c touchpad. This patch aims to resolve the issue raised here:E https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug. The latest mainline kernel, Linux 4.9 that was released 11th of December doesn't contain this patch. I was able to get touchpad features to work with E502SA after patching Xenial Xerus kernel with the above patch and the patches it depends on.
