Comment 0 for bug 1328392

Touchpad on the Asus X550LD is not working on Ubuntu 14.04.

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.

As suggested by mantainer of related bug, I tested with the latest mainline kernel, 3.15.0-031500-generic, with no apparent effect on the above-described behavior, and, as suggested, I filed this new bug
