[J.Mead]

Following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingTouchpadDetection
Laptop is brand new, touchpad works fine in windows. In each linux distro I've tried touchpad is nonresponsive and the hardware doesn't show up at all. External mouse works fine.
The Windows driver looks like it's: AsusSGDrv.sys 8.0.0.19
