I don't have much time and before I do any backporting, I want to get the driver into a state where it will be merged into mainline linux. There is one problem report where the touchpad is broken after suspend/resume which needs to be fixed first, that's why I was asking here in the first place.
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/BuildYourOwnKernel should contain all required information to get the sources, shouldn't it? Eithe apt-get source with your kernel version, or if you pull from the git repo, you'd probably need to switch into some "v3.17.1" branch or something like that. Porting should not be difficult, you need to backport http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-input/msg33508.html first, and you might want to patch in https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/drivers/input/serio/i8042-x86ia64io.h?id=9ff84a17302aeb8913ff244ecc0d8f9d219fecb5 as well just for the sake of completeness. -- 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: Confirmed 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.
