[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1778087] Re: ELAN1200 touchpad jumps around and disconnects
Hi, as an update, on my ASUS-GL503VD the erratic behaviour disappeared around 5.2.x but still disconnected from time to time. I'm on 5.3.7 now and disconnecting remains. I just use: 'modprobe -r i2c_hid' and 'modprobe i2c_hid' to restore it and keep on going.

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1778087] Re: ELAN1200 touchpad jumps around and disconnects
I'm on the exact same situation with my ASUS-GL503VD. I have tried with the xorg synaptics touchpad driver (xserver-xorg-input-synaptics package) but the erratic behavior remains. Also tried with i8042 and acpi related kernel commands on the grub config as suggested on external forums, apparently those kind of commands were successful on other elan touchpads. -- 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/1778087 Title: ELAN1200 touchpad jumps around and disconnects Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: This is on an ASUS GL503VD laptop and would probably affect other ASUS laptops equipped with the ELAN1200 touchpad.

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1777679] Re: ELAN1200 touchpad not working at all with kernel 4.15+; Recognized as ITE 8910 keyboard
I also have an AsusGL503VD with an ELAN touchpad listed by xinput as: ELAN1200:00 04F3:3090 Touchpad I installed the kernel 4.17.2 by .deb packages availables on ppa ubuntu kernel mainline (kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/). The touchpad is detected but cursor freezes and jumps around randomly. i2c-hid is listed on lsmod and I have tried with the xorg synaptics touchpad driver (xserver-xorg-input-synaptics package) but the weird behavior remains. Also tried with i8042 and acpi related kernel commands on the grub config. Are you getting completely clean operation? can you provide new diagnostics files, like your lsmod output? -- 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: Fix Committed 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: USERPID ACCESS COMMAND /dev/snd/controlC0: ttr1798 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.
