Chris D, as per http://www.asus.com/Notebooks_Ultrabooks/ASUS_ZENBOOK_UX31E/#support an update is available for your BIOS (214). If you update to this following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BiosUpdate , does it change anything?
If not, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command: sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful. For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette . Thank you for your understanding. ** Tags added: bios-outdated-214 regression-potential ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Triaged => Incomplete -- 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/990260 Title: Latest kernel makes Sentelic touchpad misbehave Status in The Linux Kernel: Confirmed Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: The latest kernel update in 12.04 brought with it a backported driver for Sentelic touchpads.
