I'm running Ubuntu 18.10 with kernel 4.20.6 and I've got a Asus FX503VD with the same touchpad as other people in this thread. I'm experiencing these problems with libinput:
- Sloppy mouse pointer movements (moves very slow, not precise and the pointer jumps sometimes) - The mousepad stops working sometimes suddenly for a few seconds or minutes (this could be the 5 fingers/palm problem) I can fix the first problem by replacing libinput with mtrack. But the disconnecting still happens with mtrack. Is this the same problem as mentioned in this thread? The latest kernel update did not fix this for me. -- 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/1781879 Title: Latest ASUS trackpad doesn't work in Ubuntu Status in Linux: Fix Released Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: It seems there might be a new hardware variant of the elan trackpad in the newer ASUS machines.
