mika, I also have the asus TP500LN and this seems to be a different problem to this bug.
Description of bug is mouse does not work at all. Dmesg gives "lost sync at byte 6" messages. Mouse does work with proto=imps parameter but no two-finger functionality. If this is the same with you, after sudo su try echo 1 > /sys/devices/platform/i8042/serio4/reg_07 (or serioX?) and see if it fixes the issue. For at least asus TP500LN a kernel patch is under consideration https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=84491 https://www.marc.info/?t=142731893400011 Many thanks to Ulrik de Bie! Perhaps you can post on bugzilla that it affects TP500LA too. ** Bug watch added: Linux Kernel Bug Tracker #84491 http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=84491 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1166442 Title: Elantech clickpad/touchpad lacks multitouch features.
