[PC HP Split 13-m103es x2] New Synaptics Touchpad v103S doesn't work

[Sapiencialinux]

Hi, I have a new HP laptop, a Spit 13 x2, which have a Synaptics Touchpad v103S clickpad. On 13.10 it doesn't respond to touch or right/left click. The laptop doesn't have a physical touchpad switcher or FN keys combination in order to disable/enable it. I believe this bug is caused because evdev is unable to manage this new hardware. I also tried enabling it from Gnome Settings -> Mouse.

This also happens on Fedora 20, openSUSE 13.1, Ubuntu Saucy 13.10

Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel? Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please test the latest v3.13 kernel[0].

If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tag 'kernel-fixed-upstream'.

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the tag: 'kernel-bug-exists-upstream'.

If you are unable to test the mainline kernel, for example it will not boot, please add the tag: 'kernel-unable-to-test-upstream'.
Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug as "Confirmed".

Thanks in advance.

new bug created: #1312489

[Vincent Fortier (th0ma7)]

Found a fix which may work as well on your laptop, have a look at:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1312489

Hope this helps.

[madbiologist (me-again)]

The fix mentioned in comment #33 is available in the upstream 3.15-rc5 kernel. A PPA of this kernel can be found at http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ and instructions on how to install and uninstall it are available at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds

[Vincent Fortier (th0ma7)]

Confirmed solved: fix included by default in kernel 3.16 as part of Ubuntu 14.10 alpha

[Vincent Fortier (th0ma7)]

Fix released and tested on ubuntu 14.10 alpha

Hello,

I have the same issue on my new Hybrid Ultrabook, the HP Spectre 13-h201ef x2 with a clean install of Ubuntu 14.04.1 64-b in dual boot with Windows 8.1 Update 1.

Under Ubuntu, my Synaptics Touchpad doesn't work at all (No response from the Touchpad) and I referred to the following Ubuntu document: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingTouchpadDetection to try solving the issue but with no success.

* DebuggingTouchpadDetection *
In case your Touchpad doesn't work at all (No response from the Touchpad)
This is generally a case of a kernel (linux) or xorg bug. Check by connecting an external mouse to see if that works or not.

2. If yes, execute at a terminal:
cat /proc/bus/input/devices

One should see:
I: Bus=0011 Vendor=0002 Product=0007 Version=01b1
N: Name="SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad"
P: Phys=isa0060/serio2/input0
S: Sysfs=/devices/platform/i8042/serio2/input/input8
U: Uniq=
H: Handlers=mouse2 event8
B: EV=b
B: KEY=420 0 70000 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
B: ABS=11000003

If you do not find something like this (which is my case), then the bug is in the linux kernel. Please follow these steps:
File the bug against the linux package.
Provide the general information.
Enter the following commands in a terminal:
dmesg > ~/dmesg
cat /proc/bus/input/devices > ~/devices
Attach as separate attachments to your bug report ~/dmesg, ~/devices, and your /var/log/Xorg.0.log.

Here attached the first dmesg file I have done on my HP Spectre 13 x2. The two other are following.

My kernel version is 3.13.0-34-generic and my system is up to date.

Thank you for your help.
Cheers.
Joe
