** Description changed: + == SRU Justification == Seems there is a new version of the ELANPAD touchpad with identifier ELAN0612 that is being included in newer laptops. The kernel itself doesn't have support for this touchpad yet. However, the patch to get this working is trivial. Since people start being affected by this, - would it be possible to include the patch in the ubuntu kernel packages - until it is merged upstream? Especially, support in 18.04 would nice. + this patch is being sent as a SAUCE patch until it lands upstream. The upstream bug at the Kernel project, including the patch is here: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=199253 + + == Fix == + UBUNTU: SAUCE: Input: elan_i2c - add ELAN0612 to the ACPI table + + == Regression Potential == + Low. One liner to add a device id. + + == Test Case == + A test kernel was built with this patch and tested by the original bug reporter. + The bug reporter states the test kernel resolved the bug. ** Also affects: linux (Ubuntu Artful) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: linux (Ubuntu Xenial) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu Artful) Status: New => In Progress ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu Xenial) Status: New => In Progress ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu Artful) Importance: Undecided => Medium ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu Xenial) Importance: Undecided => Medium ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu Artful) Assignee: (unassigned) => Joseph Salisbury (jsalisbury) ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu Xenial) Assignee: (unassigned) => Joseph Salisbury (jsalisbury) -- 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/1773509 Title: ELANPAD ELAN0612 does not work, patch available Status in linux package in Ubuntu: In Progress Status in linux source package in Xenial: In Progress Status in linux source package in Artful: In Progress Status in linux source package in Bionic: In Progress Bug description: == SRU Justification == Seems there is a new version of the ELANPAD touchpad with identifier ELAN0612 that is being included in newer laptops.
