Comment 18 for bug 1846090

hi,

Sorry for the late reply. ASUS does not produce any drivers for linux. Keep in mind this is for the ux534, I have no idea if this will work on other screenpad laptops.

It works out of the box, both on wayland and xorg. However, often the laptop will not detect it as a second display, but this is usually fixed by suspending and resuming your session (close laptop lid, wait for it to suspend, open it back up).

Because there are no drivers, you can't really adjust brightness. One workaround is to boot into windows, set the touchpad to max brightness, then boot into ubuntu. It will remember your brightness configuration. If you run xorg you can then use xrandr to dim it artificially. I don't know how to do this on wayland, if someone can point me to a wayland CLI tool equivalent to xrandr that would be great.

Other than the brightness annoyance I prefer using it on ubuntu than on windows. The asus app kind of makes it worse experience in some ways.
