[Fujitsu LIFEBOOK U574] Touchpad doesn't work

[Jason Robinson]

Touchpad isn't recognized after clean install on Fujitsu U574 laptop. Running 'cat /proc/bus/input/devices' shows:

Name="ImPS/2 Generic Wheel Mouse"

Added GRUB params as per bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1244634:

To /etc/default/grub, add to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT:
i8042.notimeout i8042.nomux

And then:

sudo update-grub && sudo reboot

This solved the issue, touchpad works now. I filed a new bug instead of jumping on 1244634 because for me on this laptop, no tricks are needed to have touchpad working after suspend - it works after boot AND after suspend.

Will link upstream bug once found or created.

Looks like the boot command only solves part of the problem. Touchpad is totally missing from "Mouse & Touchpad" settings in Unity and also it cannot be switched off with FN+F4. Seems also that it is not triggered off when typing so it is super sensitive to accidental triggering and thus typing is more difficult.

Jason Robinson, could you please confirm this issue exists with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ . If the issue remains, please just make a comment to this.

If reproducible, could you also please test the latest upstream kernel available (not the daily folder) following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags:
kernel-fixed-upstream
kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example:
kernel-fixed-upstream-3.13.1

This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags:
kernel-bug-exists-upstream
kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your understanding.
