The touchpad doesn't work properly on my X550CA laptop running with :
- Ubuntu 14.04 64bits (kernel 3.13.0-27-generic)
The cursor doesn't move at all or just barely from time to time. Rigth or left-click doesn't work. The touchpad is not properly recognized by the OS. It seems to recognized it as “PS/2 Logitech Wheel Mouse”, as shown by :

$ xinput --list
⎡ Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)]
⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ PS/2 Logitech Wheel Mouse id=13 [slave pointer (2)]
⎣ Virtual core keyboard id=3 [master keyboard (2)]
    ↳ Virtual core XTEST keyboard id=5 [slave keyboard (3)]
    ↳ Power Button id=6 [slave keyboard (3)]
    ↳ Video Bus id=7 [slave keyboard (3)]
    ↳ Sleep Button id=8 [slave keyboard (3)]
    ↳ USB2.0 HD UVC WebCam id=10 [slave keyboard (3)]
    ↳ Asus WMI hotkeys id=11 [slave keyboard (3)]
    ↳ AT Translated Set 2 keyboard id=12 [slave keyboard (3)]
