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 one. Both of your comments make me think the issue is ACPI related. Thanks, will try the very latest kernel, check grub parameters, and get back to you. -- 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/1777679 Title: ELAN1200 touchpad not working at all with kernel 4.15+; Recognized as ITE 8910 keyboard Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Laptop is an Asus-GL503VD Touchpad is an ELAN touchpad model 1200. This bug is relative to the Asus-GL503VD and any Asus laptop using the ELAN1200 touchpad. I tried Arch, Debian, Ubuntu 14/16/18, Pop_OS, Sabayon Linux, Fedora. Same problem, touchpad is totally unresponsive. From what I understand the touchpad is being recognized as a keyboard and I cannot get any driver to recognize it: elan-i2c or synaptics. The touchpad is also being recognized as a USB device. This behaviour was consistent on kernels 4.15.0-22, 4.15.0-23 and 4.17.1. Right now trying to make it work on kernel 4.15.0-23 because it seems more "main-stream". Note: I have a keyboard recognized as AT Translated Set 2 keyboard which makes me believe I do not need ITE8910 to be a keyboard. Note2: Been researching LKM development. Managed to make a signed 'hello world' lkm and make it output in dmesg. Willing to help debug/develop the driver for this touchpad. --- ProblemType: Bug ApportVersion: 2.20.9-0ubuntu7.2 Architecture: amd64 AudioDevicesInUse: USER PID ACCESS COMMAND /dev/snd/controlC0: ttr 1798 F.... pulseaudio CurrentDesktop: ubuntu:GNOME DistroRelease: Ubuntu 18.04 HibernationDevice: RESUME=UUID=7791e5a6-d685-49b9-93d7-017c1abf4b89 InstallationDate: Installed on 2018-06-10 (9 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 18.04 LTS "Bionic Beaver" - Release amd64 (20180426) MachineType: ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC.
