[Bug 1391023] Re: [Asus X550LA] The trackpad is not recognized
@Mathias I've tried a number of the kernels on that bug report's comments. They all give the same behaviour: the trackpad no longer works, although going to System Settings-Mouse Touchpad shows touchpad specific settings which have been absent up until now (Two finger scrolling, Tap to click, etc). xinput --list will show: ⎡ Virtual core pointer id=2[master pointer (3)] ⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointerid=4[slave pointer (2)] ⎜ ↳ FocalTechPS/2 FocalTech FocalTech Touchpadid=12 [slave pointer (2)] This is the case, for instance, when compiling and installing either from https://github.com/mgottschlag/linux/tree/focaltech2 and https://github.com/mgottschlag/linux/tree/focaltech3 As well as a number of the pre-compiled debs. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1391023 Title: [Asus X550LA] The trackpad is not recognized To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1391023/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 1391023] Re: [Asus X550LA] The trackpad is not recognized
Hi, I tried the following kernel: 3.18.0-031800rc4-generic Which does have different behaviour, though I do not know whether to count it as a 'bug exists upstream', or 'fixed upstream' change. I no longer need to boot with psmouse.proto=bare to get basic touchpad functionality. xinput now returns: xinput --list ⎡ Virtual core pointer id=2[master pointer (3)] ⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointerid=4[slave pointer (2)] ⎜ ↳ PS/2 FocalTech FocalTech Touchpad in mouse emulation mode id=13 [slave pointer (2)] ⎜ ↳ Logitech Unifying Device. Wireless PID:400a id=9[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)] ↳ Sleep Button id=8[slave keyboard (3)] ↳ USB2.0 HD UVC WebCam id=10 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Asus WMI hotkeys id=11 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ AT Translated Set 2 keyboard id=12 [slave keyboard (3)] Which shows the touchpad recognized as 'FocalTech Touchpad in mouse emulation mode'. This appears to just provide basic touchpad functionality, however, as I'm still unable to use any touchpad specific features like two finger scrolling. Please advise how to update the status.

[Bug 1391023] Re: the trackpad is not recognized on my ASUS D550MA-DS01
Hi Chris, the update did not change any symptoms for me. Booting the kernel without the option 'psmouse.proto=bare' results in the trackpad not working just as before. The only response it will produce when you touch the trackpad is (on rare occassions) it might instantly jump to a random part of the screen, it might disappear, it might result in random keyboard input. Without being touched, every 2 seconds or so, the cursor will drift 50 or so pixels to the left of the screen. I used to fix these by running 'sudo modprobe -r psmouse' and using an external mouse. Booting the kernel with the option 'psmouse.proto=bare' makes all these symptoms go away and basic functionality of the trackpad work. Here's the output you requested: lansdell@juneau:~$ sudo dmidecode -s bios-version sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date [sudo] password for lansdell: X550LA.509 06/26/2014 In the process of flashing the BIOS to the latest (509) I did learn one thing: the model of my laptop (ASUS X550LA-DH51) differs from what was advertised by amazon when I purchased it (ASUS D550MA-DS01). This is strange, and was a surprise I only learnt from the trouble I had flashing the BIOS with the latter's BIOS files instead of the former's. Mainly its relevance here is that the title of my bug report lists the wrong model. Let me know how else I can help.

[Bug 1391023] [NEW] the trackpad is not recognized on my ASUS D550MA-DS01
Public bug reported: I'm experiencing the same issue described by users here -- the trackpad is not recognized on my ASUS D550MA-DS01. xinputs --list shows no trackpad, and running synclient returns 'Couldn't find synaptics properties. No synaptics driver loaded?'. I resort to using an external USB mouse, and run 'sudo modprobe -r psmouse' after booting to prevent random/unpredictable input occurring when I brush against/click the trackpad. I've tried with a number of linux kernels, Ubuntu releases, and other distributions. The fix suggested by Hans (booting the kernel with psmouse.proto=bare) was successful.
