(March 16, 2015 at 12:53 am)SteelCurtain Wrote: So the other day I ran '~$ sudo apt-get upgrade' to get the latest LTS from Canonical. Turns out the newest kernel doesn't support the newer Elantech Touchpads fully. The touchpad still works, but annoyingly not second level operations like two finger scrolling and the pressure counts which you can modify so that the touchpad isn't so sensitive or disable while typing. This annoys me very much.

There seems to be no fix, and just now I ran '~$ xinput list' and it seems that synaptics is registering the touchpad as a "Generic PS/2 Mouse."

There seems to be no fix for this as of yet, and I am not experienced enough to modify the kernel or anything like that. I am now installing an even newer kernel that isn't released yet, and we'll see if that works.

Anybody have any other suggestions?

This may be some help
