Installed development module overnight 4.11.0-041100rc2-generic and commented out the above changes in the /etc/default/grub. Working at the moment, but it's intermittent.
I did leave the /50-synaptics file with the extra two lines alone, so they loaded. Joseph - I recall an email asking me to comment out the i8042.nomux=1(?) in the kernel. I can't find that - where would I find it? (was not in /proc/cmdline) Regards, Andrew F -- 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/1641393 Title: 'Elan Touchpad' not detected in Ubuntu 16.04.1 Gigabyte P57K-965-603S Fresh install Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: On a fresh install of Ubuntu 16.04.1 (July 27 2016, downloaded November 13 2016 from the official site) on the above machine, the Elan touchpad was not detected at all.
