** Description changed: This bug report is in addition to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1166442 - the fixes suggested there (which work for others) have been tried but do not work for a small subset of laptops, particularly the Gigabyte U2442 series. Description of the situation for my Gigabyte U2442V most recently running 3.11.0-12-generic on Linux Mint. I tried the updated module mentioned in the above bug report (1166442). It compiles and it detects an Elantech trackpad of *indeterminate version*. I get this in dmesg: [859697.496141] psmouse serio1: elantech: assuming hardware version 3 (with firmware version 0x450f01) [859697.526011] psmouse serio1: elantech: Synaptics capabilities query result 0x58, 0x17, 0x0c. [859697.765917] psmouse serio1: elantech: retrying ps2 command 0x0b (2). [859698.470556] psmouse serio1: elantech: retrying ps2 command 0x0b (1). I get no Synaptics driver functionality, and only basic touchpad behaviour (motion and tap-to-click for left click, no scroll or disabling the pad when typing, etc.). It seems I don't have a v9 or v10 trackpad, I've never been able to get a definitive indication of which version I have got. The only thing that has remedied this problem for me in the past was the one described in the original bug report (for elantech-v6 - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video- intel/+bug/681904/comments/64)... but it no longer applies to newer kernels... With the 3.11.0-12-generic kernel, my Touchpad *is* detected, i.e. xinput shows: ↳ PS/2 Elantech Touchpad id=16 [slave pointer (2)] and dmesg shows: input: PS/2 Elantech Touchpad as /devices/platform/i8042/serio1/input/input14 There are no useful touchpads settings evident in the normal Cinnamon settings utility (gnome-control-center -> Mouse & Touchpads). I see a touchpad settings option with the "gpointing-device-settings" app and I can turn on vertical and horizontal scrolling in the interface, but doing so does not in any way affect that actual touchpad behaviour. - I've also tried installing the elantech-v7 module via dkms (see - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2111236&p=12850603#post12850603) - and it compiles, but it too fails to provide the desired functionality. + I've also tried installing the elantech-v7 module via dkms (see http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2111236&p=12850603#post12850603) and it compiles, but it too fails to provide the desired functionality. + --- + ApportVersion: 2.12.5-0ubuntu2.2 + Architecture: amd64 + DistroRelease: Ubuntu 13.10 + HibernationDevice: RESUME=UUID=29b0358f-f728-4aea-bce5-e233816f27b1 + InstallationDate: Installed on 2013-12-11 (46 days ago) + InstallationMedia: Linux Mint 16 "petra" - Release amd64 20131126 + MachineType: GIGABYTE U2442 + MarkForUpload: True + Package: linux (not installed) + ProcFB: 0 inteldrmfb + ProcKernelCmdLine: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-3.11.0-12-generic root=UUID=83fd94b8-53eb-4e68-9eeb-cf2e017cbe0d ro quiet splash vt.handoff=7 + ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.11.0-12.19-generic 3.11.3 + RelatedPackageVersions: + linux-restricted-modules-3.11.0-12-generic N/A + linux-backports-modules-3.11.0-12-generic N/A + linux-firmware 1.116 + RfKill: + 0: phy0: Wireless LAN + Soft blocked: no + Hard blocked: no + Tags: petra + Uname: Linux 3.11.0-12-generic x86_64 + UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) + UserGroups: adm cdrom dip lpadmin plugdev sambashare sudo + dmi.bios.date: 10/26/2012 + dmi.bios.vendor: American Megatrends Inc. + dmi.bios.version: U2442.F306 + dmi.board.asset.tag: To be filled by O.E.M. + dmi.board.name: U2442 + dmi.board.vendor: GIGABYTE + dmi.board.version: To be filled by O.E.M. + dmi.chassis.asset.tag: To Be Filled By O.E.M. + dmi.chassis.type: 10 + dmi.chassis.vendor: To Be Filled By O.E.M. + dmi.chassis.version: To Be Filled By O.E.M. + dmi.modalias: dmi:bvnAmericanMegatrendsInc.:bvrU2442.F306:bd10/26/2012:svnGIGABYTE:pnU2442:pvrTobefilledbyO.E.M.:rvnGIGABYTE:rnU2442:rvrTobefilledbyO.E.M.:cvnToBeFilledByO.E.M.:ct10:cvrToBeFilledByO.E.M.: + dmi.product.name: U2442 + dmi.product.version: To be filled by O.E.M. + dmi.sys.vendor: GIGABYTE ** Attachment added: "AlsaInfo.txt" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1272777/+attachment/3957416/+files/AlsaInfo.txt -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1272777 Title: Elantech touchpads not fully supported for some Gigabyte laptops To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1272777/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
