I did some more digging, and it seems that the Asus driver sends additional commands to the device to enable the multitouch capabilities. This thread confirms it: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=98770
I've also did a packet dump on widnows of the device communications with the OS (without ASUS driver, with ASUS driver, and then testing gesture and mouse commands). I can confirm that the driver indeed sends additional commands. I've tried sending them by hand to the device descriptor but it did not trigger the mutlitouch events :/ Attaching the bluetooth dump, maybe this will help someone. ** Attachment added: "logs of bluetooth communication with and without the ASUS driver" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xinput/+bug/1480673/+attachment/5046425/+files/logs.tar.gz -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xinput in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1480673 Title: [ELAN 3320KD-3100] Asus T300 CHI bluetooth Touchpad is recognized incorrectly To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/libinput/+bug/1480673/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
