With kernel 3.19 the touchpad is not recognized. That can be fixed by installing the Focaltech driver from my ppa. It will not work if you installed another Elantech driver.
So this is not a bug report, but a support request. In kernel 4.2 (Ubuntu 15.10) the touchpad is recognized out of the box. -- 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/1504445 Title: FocalTech touchpad stops working after suspend Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: I have an Asus V502LX the persian version of the Asus K501LX. I have Ubuntu 14.04 installed and the kernel 4.1.6 installed. I had to install the kernel 4.1.6 to have the touchpad recognised. Under kernel 3.19.30, as I am running now to file in this bug, the touchpad is recognised as a simple mouse (no two fingers scrolling...) and the problem I am describing below is also present... I noticed one problem. The Focaltech touchpad is not working after suspending the computer. Here is what I could find about the touchpad in /proc/bus/input/devices I: Bus=0011 Vendor=0002 Product=0012 Version=0000 N: Name="FocalTechPS/2 FocalTech FocalTech Touchpad" P: Phys=isa0060/serio1/input0 S: Sysfs=/devices/platform/i8042/serio1/input/input5 U: Uniq= H: Handlers=mouse0 event4 B: PROP=5 B: EV=b B: KEY=e520 10000 0 0 0 0 B: ABS=260800000000003 Before suspending the computer, I can deactivate and activate again the touchpad with the hotkey of my keyboard without problem. However, once the computer suspended, nothing work to re-activate the touchpad. I tried a solution given on internet but it doesn't work properly. I created a file here /etc/pm/sleep.d/0000trackpad sudo gedit /etc/pm/sleep.d/0000trackpad and add the following #!/bin/sh case "$1" in suspend|hibernate) modprobe -r psmouse; resume|thaw) modprobe psmouse; esac With this file, the computer refuse to suspend. The touchpad keep working so it does something but I can't make my computer sleeping...
