Pilot6, Me neither... xD But I am trying to understand all this... I tried to boot into Kubuntu with kernel 3.16 (where my touchpad works even without focaltech-dkms installed) and dumped my xorg log. Log is here: http://pastebin.com/FvbUjdcD
Then I did the same on kernel 4.0.1. Log is here: http://pastebin.com/u6GKmPtW If you look at the bottom of both logs you will see a difference. In 3.16 it applies touchpad InputClass, after that it loads synaptics_drv.so module, and then detects it as a touchpad: [ 5.422] (II) config/udev: Adding input device FocalTechPS/2 FocalTech FocalTech Touchpad (/dev/input/event5) [ 5.422] (**) FocalTechPS/2 FocalTech FocalTech Touchpad: Applying InputClass "evdev touchpad catchall" ...

[ 5.524] (II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device "FocalTechPS/2 FocalTech FocalTech Touchpad" (type: TOUCHPAD, id 14) In 4.0.1 kernel it applies pointer InputClass, it does not load synaptics module, it uses evdev input driver, and then detects it as a mouse: [ 5.349] (II) config/udev: Adding input device PS/2 FocalTech FocalTech Touchpad (/dev/input/event5) [ 5.349] (**) PS/2 FocalTech FocalTech Touchpad: Applying InputClass "evdev pointer catchall" [ 5.349] (II) Using input driver 'evdev' for 'PS/2 FocalTech FocalTech Touchpad' ... [ 5.349] (II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device "PS/2 FocalTech FocalTech Touchpad" (type: MOUSE, id 14) Is there a way I can tell it to load synaptics module and use touchpad InputClass (not pointer)? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1372609 Title: Touchpad detected as mouse on Asus ux303ln laptop To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1372609/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
