Bug Description
Touchpad on the Asus X550LD is not working on Ubuntu 14.04 with either default or mainline kernel 3.15.0-
Cursor does make some movements if you insist toying and clicking on the touchpad, but only seldomly (just using it normally often would produce no move), and in a direction that apparently has no relation with touch. Generally moves towards bottom, bottom/left, but insisting one can have patchy movements in other directions. However, clicking has no effect.
Mouse connected with USB works normally, until you try to use the touchpad. If you touch the touchpad, the cursor mostly keeps on moving as per the mouse, but click mostly does not work. Logging out and logging in or restarting fixes the problem.
WORKAROUND: Use external USB mouse but don't touch the touchpad.
WORKAROUND: To get this to work as PS/2 use kernel boot parameter:
psmouse.proto=bare
