So I updated to Disco with the touchpad on the Asus GL702VD and for the most part, it works, I can right click and left click and use 2 fingers to scroll, however, while I tail the /var/log/syslog I get a bunch of the following errors that repeat, where with the 4.18 kernel these are suppressed:
May 3 05:16:56 ubuntu /usr/lib/gdm3/gdm-x-session[1719]: (EE) event5 - ELAN1200:00 04F3:3090 Touchpad: kernel bug: Touch jump detected and discarded. May 3 05:16:56 ubuntu /usr/lib/gdm3/gdm-x-session[1719]: See https://wayland.freedesktop.org/libinput/doc/1.12.6/touchpad-jumping-cursors.html for details However, I still have the same issue where if I touch the touchpad with all 5 fingers, it locks up the touchpad and I have to use a USB mouse to use the cursor. I also get the following error from the syslog: May 3 05:16:58 ubuntu kernel: [ 424.991449] i2c_designware i2c_designware.0: i2c_dw_handle_tx_abort: lost arbitration The only way to get it to work is to reboot the system. Also, the only way I could get Disco to work was in Graphic safe mode otherwise the system boots, and then locks up shortly after starting the desktop. I tried to boot up using modeset.nouveau=0 but it still locks up requiring a hard reset. However, in graphics safe mode, the system is useable. Once I install Ubuntu and use the proprietary nVidia graphics, I can then use the Fx buttons again and most of the shortcut Fn buttons work (calculator, fan control, brightness, contrast still do not work from press Fn+F5-F8 and I cannot put it in airplane mode (fn+F12) but sleep mode does work (Fn+F11) I can provide more details/logs if you let me know what you need.

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 : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
