A bit more digging into it. ./init /dev/serio_raw0 shows the device recognising all input fine for all five fingers. It just seems unable to enable the device for use.
dmesg | egrep 'pnp | serio ' gives the following: [ 0.272299] pnp 00:02: Plug and Play ACPI device, IDs PNP0b00 (active) [ 0.272572] pnp 00:06: Plug and Play ACPI device, IDs FLT0101 SYN0a00 SYN0002 PNP0f03 PNP0f13 PNP0f12 (active) [ 0.272622] pnp 00:07: Plug and Play ACPI device, IDs ATK3001 PNP030b (active) Scratching my head a touch. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1372609 Title: Touchpad detected as mouse on Asus ux303ln laptop To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1372609/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
