Hi Gaston. This bug report was for the touchpad not being detected. I managed to get it detected by installing kernel 4.17.2 from kernel.org. For the erratic behaviour/disconnects please go to this bug report and share your problem there:

I also have an AsusGL503VD with an ELAN touchpad listed by xinput as: ELAN1200:00 04F3:3090 Touchpad I installed the kernel 4.17.2 by .deb packages availables on ppa ubuntu kernel mainline (kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/). The touchpad is detected but cursor freezes and jumps around

Thanks everyone, 4.17.2 seems to fix the problem. Did not need any acpi GRUB parameters and unblacklisted i2c-hid without any problems. I now have touchpad control! To anyone who runs into this problem here is the solution: - get the prerequisits: sudo apt install git fakeroot build-essential

Hi Maxime, I never used the kernel parameter acpi-osi=! while I was on 4.17. I will install 4.17.2 to make sure the problem hasn't been solved. I noticed you wrote "elantech touchpad". Elantech is a different touchpad than mine. Cristian mentions the Elan1200 touchpad though which is the right

I can confirm Maxime's solution works on my Asus FX73V which uses the Elan 1200 touchpad. I'm using gentoo with kernel 4.17.2, with all the relevant config options enabled (I2C, HID, ELAN, etc). I had 'acpi_osi=!' as a kernel parameter. Once I removed it the touchpad started working. Thanks

Hi everyone, I'm late in this discussion but I may have a solution for those who are in the same case than Alistair Sutter and me before. This solution works if you use the kernel command 'acpi_osi=!" and maybe some else. I had exactly the same issue on my Asus FX503VD with the same config. I

Update: Seems like the TouchPad is not to be found anywhere on my system. I know that it is USB from the dmesg output however when I tried to see its usb descriptors with lsusb -vd I only saw reports for keyboard-related functions. I cannot find the descriptors which would look like a touchpad.

Update: Bug seems to be related to i2c-hid Cannot boot properly with i2c-hid. Had to blacklist i2c-hid a while ago. Un-blacklisting i2c-hid causes boot to fail with black-screen with ctrl+alt+f* combos unresponsive. I don't know how to debug i2c-hid since the black-screen stops me from

Did this issue start happening after an update/upgrade? Was there a prior kernel version where you were not having this particular problem? Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel? Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please test the latest v4.17
