https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=716852 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=716852#c0 Summary: Asus U46E-BAL5 notebook elantech touchpad comes up as a generic PS/2 mouse Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 12.1 Version: Milestone 5 Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: SuSE Other Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: Kernel AssignedTo: kernel-maintainers@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: znmeb@borasky-research.net QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64) AppleWebKit/535.1 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/13.0.782.220 Safari/535.1 I just bought an Asus U46E-BAL5 notebook. When I boot the openSUSE 12.1 Milestone 5 GNOME LiveCD, the system comes up all the way to the desktop. However, the Elan touchpad comes up as a generic PS/2 mouse. The GNOME 3 Mouse and Touchpad settings only show mouse settings. It does function as a pointing device with two buttons, but none of the touchpad utilities even see that there's a touchpad. At the very least, I'd like to be able to turn it off while I have a USB mouse plugged in, which is most of the time. There isn't much research available on this issue. I tried Fedora 15 and it does the same thing. I did find a similar issue in the Ubuntu bug database, see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/6819... https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/6819... https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/6819... https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/6819... Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Get an Asus U46E-BAL5 notebook 2. Boot openSUSE 12.1 MS5 64 bit GNOME LiveCD 3. Try to adjust touchpad settings Actual Results: Only the mouse settings are enabled Expected Results: I expected to be able to set at least some touchpad settings. At the very least I need to disable the touchpad when using a USB mouse. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Edward Ed Borasky 2011-10-18 19:25:36 UTC --- Latest results - semi-good news. I downloaded a 64-bit Ubuntu 11.10 LiveCD and booted it on my U46E-BAL5. It recognizes the touchpad as a touchpad, so there are some kernel patches that at least partially fix this problem. They are using a 3.0 kernel, not a 3.1, so the patches must have come from Ubuntu and not from upstream. :-( -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

...

I sent the patch set to opensuse-kernel@opensuse.org . We'll see if we can make it to 12.1

If it doesn't make it into 12.1, it's in the upstream 3.2, so it will show up eventually in Tumbleweed, right? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
