Installed development module overnight 4.11.0-041100rc2-generic and commented out the above changes in the /etc/default/grub. Working at the moment, but it's intermittent.
I did leave the /50-synaptics file with the extra two lines alone, so they loaded. Joseph - I recall an email asking me to comment out the i8042.nomux=1(?) in the kernel. I can't find that - where would I find it? (was not in /proc/cmdline) Regards, Andrew F -- 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
