So the latest Disco Kernel (Bionic HWE 5.0.0-31-generic) seems to have fixed all the issues with the touchpad. I can now touch the touchpad with all 5 fingers and it doesn't lock up and require me to restart the multitouch-hid module. It also seems that this version of the kernel also fixed the keyboard issues where the brightness Fn keys work as well as the keyboard brightness, airplane mode and sleep mode.

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
