Looks like the guy is me. ELAN folks already pointed out that the patch is not correct.
Subsequent discussion suggested that a touchpad firmware update can solve the issue. Although the firmware is not from ASUS official. -- 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/1738263 Title: Touchpad not working and locking CPU Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Notebook: ASUS GL703VD Touchpad: probably ELAN clickpad it seems to be connected to i2c bus the modules loaded are elan_i2c and multitouch_hid the multitouch hid module take almost 100% of cpu and the mouse cursor moves badly (loosing it for a second or 2 then resuming) also feature clicks and doubleclicks and sensitivity problems. doing rmmod hid-multitouch.ko (or rmmod multitouch_hid) and blacklisting the module solves the cpu problem but obviously the touchoad is dead. SEVERITY VERY HIGH It probably affects many other ASUS models. (the touchpad works perfectly in windows 10 by the way) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1738263/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages Post to : kernel-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
