Thank you for providing a patch, and making Ubuntu better. Can you provide some information on the status of the patch with regards to getting it merged upstream? Has it been sent upstream, what sort of feedback has it received, is it getting applied to a subsystem maintainer's tree, etc?
o submit your patch, send your patch with the detailed description/changelog and your Signoff (ending with Signed-off-by: your name <email>), to the emails listed from ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl drivers/SUBSYSTEM-DETAILS (the get_maintainer.pl is from the kernel sources). Once you have sent the patch upstream and it's accepted, please drop a note here so that we can cherry-pick/include the patch into Ubuntu kernel. ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Medium ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Triaged ** Also affects: linux (Ubuntu Cosmic) Importance: Medium Status: Triaged ** Also affects: linux (Ubuntu Bionic) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: linux (Ubuntu Xenial) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu Bionic) Importance: Undecided => Medium ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu Xenial) Importance: Undecided => Medium ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu Bionic) Status: New => Triaged ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu Xenial) Status: New => Triaged -- 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/1778534 Title: Touchpad not working (Elantech ELAN0618) Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in linux source package in Xenial: Triaged Status in linux source package in Bionic: Triaged Status in linux source package in Cosmic: Triaged Bug description: For a fresh installed Ubuntu 16 (and 18), touchpad doesn't work for Elantech ELAN0618. We have modified the struct elan_acpi_id, by adding ELAN0618 to the list of the supported models (in the file drivers/input/mouse/elan_i2c_core.c from the kernel source) static const struct acpi_device_id elan_acpi_id[] = { { "ELAN0000", 0 }, { "ELAN0100", 0 }, { "ELAN0600", 0 }, { "ELAN0602", 0 }, { "ELAN0605", 0 }, { "ELAN0608", 0 }, { "ELAN0605", 0 }, { "ELAN0609", 0 }, { "ELAN060B", 0 }, { "ELAN060C", 0 }, { "ELAN0611", 0 }, { "ELAN0618", 0 }, { "ELAN1000", 0 }, { } }; and then built the kernel, and our problem solved.
