Bug Description
i have asus a455ld i5 5200u running kubuntu 15.04 with kernel 4.0.8-040008-
touchpad is recognized as elantech version 4. everything was fine until my notebook go to suspend and resume without touchpad working.
I tried :
modprobe -r psmouse
modprobe psmouse
it only work before suspend.
execute those commands after resume from suspend is not working.
the last thing i tried is this.
when i use this command before suspend :
insmod /lib/modules/
these appear in the dmesg:
[ 820.207105] psmouse serio1: elantech: assuming hardware version 4 (with firmware version 0x381f00)
[ 820.222270] psmouse serio1: elantech: Synaptics capabilities query result 0x10, 0x14, 0x0e.
[ 820.294698] input: ETPS/2 Elantech Touchpad as /devices/
but when i use the command after suspend, there is nothing any output in the dmesg.
i tried all ubuntu varian and opensuse 13.2 live usb, the result is the same.
but in windows 10, touchpad still active after suspend.

this issue start happening since i bought this laptop and installed ubuntu 15.04 on this. i also tried ubuntu 14.04 but this issue still exist.
i dont remember how many kernel i tried but none of them can solve this issue.
note: modprobe psmouse will bring the psmouse module back (checked in lsmod result) but touchpad still freezing.

Hello, I have the same problem.
I found this thread, http://
create a file here /etc/pm/
sudo gedit /etc/pm/
and add the following
#!/bin/sh
case "$1" in
suspend|
modprobe -r psmouse ;;
resume|thaw)
modprobe psmouse ;;
esac
it didn't work at first because of the double " ; " so I changed it to
#!/bin/sh
case "$1" in
suspend|
modprobe -r psmouse;
resume|thaw)
modprobe psmouse;
esac
and now, the computer refuse to sleep. At least, the touchpad keep working so it does something but I can't make my conputer sleepin...
By the way, if it gives a clue, I can deactivate and activate again the touchpad with the hotkey of my keyboard.
| Harris Anggara (harrisanggara) wrote : | #10 |
hello Daniel, thanks for your suggestion. that works ! :)
now i'm using kernel 3.19 with the patch. i changed the DMI_PRODUCT_NAME with X455LDB (because that is my laptop model)
thank you verry much.
hello thatoo, i already tried that and no result. the psmouse module loaded after suspend, but touchpad still not working.
Thatoo, it will help immensely if you file a new report via a terminal:

@Christopher M. Penalver (penalvch), here is the answer of
ubuntu-bug linux
It appears you are currently running a mainline kernel. It would be better to report this bug upstream at http://
So I file a bug on http://
https:/
Before you read it, I'm sorry to say that I made a mistake, I confuse Elantech and Focaltech.
It seems that my touchpad is a Focaltech not an Elantech but I'm not exactly sure how to know, I've just find out in this file /proc/bus/

Harris Anggara (harrisanggara), could you explain me with some detail what did you do to make this patch work?

And how can I know what I should replace X455LDB for?

Hello thatoo, i compiled the kernel for myself with the patch that given by daniel. this is the instruction i followed https:/
"drivers/
lines with "+" at first character are the patch that you should modify or add to "drivers/
to identify your laptop model you can run
sudo dmidecode | grep Product\ Name

Harris Anggara, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available from the very top line at the top of the page from http://
If the latest kernel did not allow you to test to the issue (ex. you couldn't boot into the OS) please make a comment in your report about this, and continue to test the next most recent kernel version until you can test to the issue. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this issue is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon, next to the word Tags, located at the bottom of the report description:
kernel-
kernel-
Where X, Y, and Z are numbers corresponding to the kernel version.
If the mainline kernel does not fix the issue, please add the following tags:
kernel-
kernel-
Please note, an error to install the kernel does not fit the criteria of kernel-
Once testing of the latest upstream kernel is complete, please mark this report's Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results.
Thank you for your understanding.

Thank you so much Harris Anggara (harrisanggara), it works for me with the kernel 4.2 for ubuntu 14.04. No drivers needed and I can suspend my computer.
| Thatoo (thatoo) wrote : | #32 |
I had to change DMI_PRODUCT_NAME with K501LX by the way.
| Harris Anggara (harrisanggara) wrote : | #33 |
Christopher M. Penalver (penalvch) , i tried kernel 4.3 and still can not use the touchpad after suspend.
i heard dell xps 13 developer edition also had this issue, but they already fixed that by provide .deb package.

I have Asus X302LA notebook, and 'modprobe -r psmouse' followed by 'modprobe psmouse' makes its touchpad die off even without doing pm-suspend
Also I see in dmesg that ETPS/2 Elantech touchpad is initially created as /devices/
The script in /etc/pm/sleep.d apparently does not do anything (probably need to re-test it after a fresh boot)

Funny thing.
Reboot Ubuntu, don't login. Let the device go to hibernate/sleep.
After awaking the device the mouse still works. So this seems to only happen, after a user logged in.

Linus just picked the today's input PR with a fix for this problem for A455LD, X455LDB, K501LB, K501LX and X302LA.

Harris Anggara, to advise, an upstream patch working for you wouldn't fit the definition of Fix Released for linux (Ubuntu) as per https:/
Despite this, it would be helpful to confirm if the patch noted by Marcos Paulo de Souzas indeed fixed your issue. Instructions are available via https:/

Hi! Same problem. I install kernel 4.8 in Ubuntu 16.04 (from official repos) and problem solved! Try this too.

Same problem with ASUS K501UQ on 17.10. I don't see this model in the list of "matches" in the patch, so I guess I should add it manually and see if that works.

I think the bug was fixed since the patch changed over time and now it looks for all ASUS laptops in order to skip selftests:

Sergey Zolotarev, can you please test again with a recent kernel and tell us if the issue was fixed? It should work with every modern ASUS laptop, so everyone who commented in this bug, please test against a newer kernel release.
