To help with fault-finding, I made these changes after I tested the upstream kernels.
Changes as per: http://askubuntu.com/questions/763584/elantech-touchpad-not-working-on-ubuntu /etc/default/grub GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="i8042.reset quiet splash" GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="" ^the above change in default boot made no difference, the touchpad was unresponsive. Then tried both of the below changes: /etc/default/grub GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="i8042.kbdreset=1 i8042.reset quiet splash" GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="" /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-synaptics.conf Section "InputClass" Identifier "touchpad catchall" Driver "synaptics" MatchIsTouchpad "on" # Below two options as per http://askubuntu.com/questions/763584/elantech-touch$ Option "TapButton1" "1" Option "VertEdgeScroll" "1" At the moment, the touchpad is working well. In the past, the behaviour has been intermittent. It may or may not be a fix, but these changes *appear* to have had the touchpad recognised. If there's a log you need me to run, please let me know. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1641393 Title: 'Elan Touchpad' not detected in Ubuntu 16.04.1 Gigabyte P57K-965-603S Fresh install To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1641393/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
