Thanks for the information. The bug is unfortunately still reproductible with BIOS version 213 so BIOS upgrade is not an improvement. After the login to the desktop (maybe one minute after) the touchpad crashed with the same messages.
The needed output about BIOS: E403SA.213 09/09/2015 Bug changed to 'Confirmed'. ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Confirmed -- 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/1536038 Title: ELAN1000 touchpad not recognised correctly, with upstream kernel it recognised, but freezes randomly Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I've got an ASUS E403SA notebook with Ubuntu 15.10 and kernel 4.2.0-23-generic from default repository. The touchpad is in PS/2 mouse emulation mode so multitouch like two-finger scrolling is not available. Dmesg output attached and xinput --list shows: ⎡ Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)] ⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)] ⎜ ↳ ELAN1000:00 04F3:0401 id=11 [slave pointer (2)] ⎣ Virtual core keyboard id=3 [master keyboard (2)] ↳ Virtual core XTEST keyboard id=5 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Power Button id=6 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Video Bus id=7 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Sleep Button id=8 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ USB2.0 VGA UVC WebCam id=10 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Asus WMI hotkeys id=12 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ AT Translated Set 2 keyboard id=13 [slave keyboard (3)] The correct driver merged in 4.3.x kernel so I decided to test it from mainline repo http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ With kernel 4.3.x and newer the touchpad recognised correctly and multitouch works. After a while (minutes, sometimes hours) the touchpad completely freezes with this message in syslog: Jan 5 20:55:27 darkslide-notebook kernel: [ 1531.867948] i2c_designware 808622C1:03: Unknown Synopsys component type: 0x00000000 Jan 5 20:55:27 darkslide-notebook kernel: [ 1531.893399] i2c_designware 808622C1:03: timeout in enabling adapter Jan 5 20:55:28 darkslide-notebook kernel: [ 1532.892319] i2c_designware 808622C1:03: controller timed out Jan 5 20:55:28 darkslide-notebook kernel: [ 1532.892334] i2c_designware 808622C1:03: Unknown Synopsys component type: 0x00000000 Jan 5 20:55:28 darkslide-notebook kernel: [ 1532.892343] elan_i2c i2c-ELAN1000:00: failed to read report data: -110 ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 15.10 Package: linux-image-4.2.0-23-generic 4.2.0-23.28 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.2.0-23.28-generic 4.2.6 Uname: Linux 4.2.0-23-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.19.1-0ubuntu5 Architecture: amd64 AudioDevicesInUse: USER PID ACCESS COMMAND /dev/snd/controlC0: darkslide 1511 F.... pulseaudio Date: Wed Jan 20 08:33:06 2016 HibernationDevice: RESUME=UUID=2e8dbaca-618a-4aff-95bf-a134e77a2ea5 InstallationDate: Installed on 2015-12-11 (39 days ago) InstallationMedia: Xubuntu 15.10 "Wily Werewolf" - Release amd64 (20151021) MachineType: ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC.
