The new Razer Blade Pro (2016) is an extremely high-end gaming laptop and hasn't seen much Linux activity as of yet. I've worked on several drivers and improvements already, however the trackpad on this laptop is not functioning correctly and needs upstream love.
The trackpad appears to be a new Glidepoint model from Cirque, and I am unable to find any information or even similar models compare with. It is connected over the Designware I2C bus, and ends up claimed as a mouse by the hid-generic driver. Simple usage works, but multitouch, gestures, and other customizations are not possible. I have tried to use the hid-alps driver with it, but it does not work (after adding the relevant identifiers). I've also tried a laundry list of hacks and workarounds found in dubious places of the internet, with no help. Additionally, I tried Dell's uinput-based Glidepoint driver which of course did not work. I've not done any protocol sniffing or reverse engineering as of yet.
I've tested with both the yakkety production kernel and am now on mainline 4.9-rc8 with the same behavior.

The Windows driver .inf identifies it as "Glide_RazerFrancine":
%GlideTpd.Francine% = Glide_RazerFrancine, HID\CRQ1001&Col02
Filing the bug here in case someone at Canonical can help, otherwise it probably needs to go to linux-input (where I've seen folks from Cirque and Alps post frequently).
