I've recently purchased an ASUS model X551CA. This is quite recent and
becoming quite popular. I've got exactly the same issue: teh Elantech
Touchpad is correctly managed by the kernel and Ubuntu, but not "seen
completely" by Xorg. Teh consequence is that in System, Settings the tab
and items related to touchpad (e.g. dual finger scroll) aren't
available, and the touchpad is just seen as a PS2 Mouse. I've currently
a kernel higher than 3.0 installed, as I'm on Ubuntu 12.04LTS 64bit;
I've also tried the same with an Ubuntu 13.10 via pendrive and got the
same behavior. So I can EXCLUDE that the 13.xx resolves this issue.
I've already asked ASUS support for help, but i doubt that I'll get any
from them. I've tested with another PC the pendrive I then used on the
ASUS and it worked OK (pendrive is OK). I've checked the BIOS options on
the ASUS touchpad and I could DISABLE it OK (then not even a PS/2 mouse-
like device was detected, as expected), so I can exclude that the device
is disabled by BIOS.
I believe that users being on a Long Term Support release of UBUNTU
expect that a fundamental item that is part of that distribution works
fine and if not gets supported. Please let me know what I can do to
promote this and help on solution.
Thanks
Alessio
