Public bug reported:
Following the bug reporting documentation here:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingTouchpadDetection#In_case_Touchpad_features_like_scrolling.2C_tapping.2C_etc._do_not_work_at_all.
The Focaltech touchpad on Asus K501UW laptop is detected as a mouse, so
I can't access touchpad features such as two-finger scrolling or use
two-finger tap as right mouse button. The touchpad is recognized in
xinput-list as "FTE1001:00 0B05:0101".
The bug appears in Ubuntu Mate 16.04.1 x64 and Linux Mint 18 Cinnamon
x64, both with kernel 4.4.0-31. I've also tried Linux Mint 17.3 x64 with
kernel 3.19, and there the touchpad does not work at all (does not
function even as a mouse).
The bug is resemblant of #1372609.
