i just tried this:
https://github.com/vlasenko/hid-asus-fte-dkms

and after rebooting, it looks like touchpad works fine:
- two finger scroll is ok
- the mouse button area is no more sensitive as touche pad (my finger on it don't move the mouse cursor); this 'little' bug was ennoying me cause the cursor could move when i wanted to click ..

good work M. lasenko

-> fixed !
