Thor K. H., thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better. As per http://support.ts.fujitsu.com/Download/ShowFiles.asp an update to your BIOS is available (1.09). If you update to this following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BiosUpdate does it change anything? If it doesn't, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command: sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date
Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful. As well, you don't have to create a new bug report. For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette . Once the BIOS is updated, then please mark this report Status Confirmed. Thank you for your understanding. ** Tags added: bios-outdated-1.09 ** Summary changed: - Touchpad doesn't work unless middle-click is constantly pressed (on an Elantech touchpad, in a Fujitsu H730) + [Fujitsu CELSIUS H730] Touchpad doesn't work unless middle-click is constantly pressed on an Elantech touchpad ** Description changed: - Issue: - Using a fresh install of Ubuntu 14.10, I discovered that the touchpad did not work. + Issue: Using a fresh install of Ubuntu 14.10, I discovered that the + touchpad did not work. - Steps to reproduce: - Install Ubuntu 14.10 on a Fujitsu H730 and attempt to use the touchpad. + Steps to reproduce: Install Ubuntu 14.10 on a Fujitsu H730 and attempt + to use the touchpad. - Further description: - However, I stumbled across bug #1300427, where there was mention of both a workaround and a fix in a newer kernel. - I have been able to use the workaround -- which is basically limiting the protocol of the psmouse module, such that I remove and load psmouse with proto=exps. + Further description: Due to the comments in bug #1300427 I've tested the + mainline kernel version 3.17-rc5-utopic, and the only impact I recall + was how the right-click button now also worked while pressing middle- + click on the touchpad. - After this, a bit further in time, I accidentally managed to click with the touchpad.
