Comment 20 for bug 1480673

Sorry I found the problem, I had installed this dkms module in the past https://github.com/vlasenko/hid-asus-dkms because I wanted to attempt at enabling the multitouch by myself modifying the driver but apparently it remained silent as dkms module. I removed dkms and reinstalled it and also removed every trace of the module from /var/lib/dkms/asus/1.0/4.10.0-28-generic/x86_64/. Now it works perfectly and the laptop works in general very well with Linux!

As 18.04 the touchpad is recognized perfectly so I think this bug report can be closed.
