I added palm detection capability to the driver. It does not report pressure, but reports width. This capability was partialy in Mathias' driver, but then it was removed, because of some complaints for some models. Now I pass width data to userspace and it can be turned on or off.
The driver is in ppa:hanipouspilot/focaltech-dkms-staging To turn palmdetection on Ubuntu run synclient PalmDetect=1 PalmMinZ=0 Also you can set there 'PalmMinWidth' to something. Sizes supported 1-7, everything higher than 7 use hardware palmdetection threshold. I set it to 5, and it looks OK for my fingers. In addition syndaemon can be used to increase timeout to disable touchpad while typing. Default value of 0.5 sec is too low in many cases. You will need to turn off that setting in mouse properties and run syndaemon -i 2 -tKRd where 2 is timeout in seconds. -- 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/1372609 Title: Touchpad detected as mouse on Asus ux303ln laptop Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in linux package in Arch Linux: New Bug description: Hi! I'm following the bug reporting documentation here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingTouchpadDetection#In_case_Touchpad_features_like_scrolling.2C_tapping.2C_etc._do_not_work_at_all. The touchpad on my new Asus ux303ln laptop is detected as a mouse, so I can't access touchpad features such as two-finger scrolling. The laptop was very recently released and I couldn't find any outstanding firmware updates for it through Asus's Windows-based tools. % lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS Release: 14.04 Per the instructions on the wiki, I'm attaching output from /proc/bus/input/devices,` xinput --list`, and /var/log/Xorg.0.log. This machine also has a touchscreen, which I'm fairly certain is the "maXtouch digitizer" visible in the logs. I haven't yet restarted in Windows to see if it says anything useful about the touchpad, but I can do so if that's helpful. This is a fresh install of 14.04 and I haven't done much customization of it apart from installing some applications and changing the default resolution. The only relevant bit I noticed in /var/log/dmesg is this: [ 3.967547] input: PS/2 Logitech Wheel Mouse as /devices/platform/i8042/serio4/input/input11 ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 14.04 Package: linux-image-3.13.0-35-generic 3.13.0-35.62 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.13.0-35.62-generic 3.13.11.6 Uname: Linux 3.13.0-35-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.14.1-0ubuntu3.4 Architecture: amd64 AudioDevicesInUse: USER PID ACCESS COMMAND /dev/snd/controlC0: tim 2234 F.... pulseaudio /dev/snd/controlC1: tim 2234 F.... pulseaudio CurrentDesktop: Unity Date: Mon Sep 22 14:30:33 2014 HibernationDevice: RESUME=UUID=e6052f15-271a-4424-aac2-9b0ee1e490ed InstallationDate: Installed on 2014-09-22 (0 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS "Trusty Tahr" - Release amd64 (20140722.2) Lsusb: Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub Bus 001 Device 003: ID 03eb:8a32 Atmel Corp.
