Joseph, This commit will never be included in upstream stable versions. That's the problem. They will just release 4.0 and that's it. But Ubuntu users will not have the driver till 15.10 is released.
I think this is the case, when more creative approch is needed. -- 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/1430298 Title: Touchpad not working and cursor sliding Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in linux source package in Trusty: Triaged Status in linux source package in Utopic: Triaged Status in linux source package in Vivid: Triaged Bug description: I have notebook Asus K551LN and after Ubuntu installation the touchpad is not working correctly and cursor moves in intevals regularly to the left side ofdisplay.
