Public bug reported:
The new Razer Blade Pro (2016) is an extremely high-end gaming laptop
and hasn't seen much Linux activity as of yet. I've worked on several
drivers and improvements already, however the trackpad on this laptop is
not functioning correctly and needs upstream love.
The trackpad appears to be a new Glidepoint model from Cirque, and I am
unable to find any information or even similar models compare with. It
is connected over the Designware I2C bus, and ends up claimed as a mouse
by the hid-generic driver. Simple usage works, but multitouch, gestures,
and other customizations are not possible. I have tried to use the hid-
alps driver with it, but it does not work (after adding the relevant
identifiers). I've also tried a laundry list of hacks and workarounds
found in dubious places of the internet, with no help. Additionally, I
tried Dell's uinput-based Glidepoint driver which of course did not
work. I've not done any protocol sniffing or reverse engineering as of
yet.
I've tested with both the yakkety production kernel and am now on
mainline 4.9-rc8 with the same behavior.

The Windows driver .inf identifies it as "Glide_RazerFrancine":
%GlideTpd.Francine% = Glide_RazerFrancine, HID\CRQ1001&Col02
Filing the bug here in case someone at Canonical can help, otherwise it
probably needs to go to linux-input (where I've seen folks from Cirque
and Alps post frequently).
