Asus FX705DY - touchpad ELAN1200 works, but I can't turn it off

[rilicek]

In my AsusFX705DY touchpad works, but I can’t turn it off.
Touchpad is not visible in system settings.

Long time ago I added:
/etc/modprobe.d/99-elan.conf

LaptopRyzen:/etc/modprobe.d # cat 99-elan.conf 
softdep elan_i2c pre: pinctrl_amd
softdep hid_elan pre: pinctrl_amd

LaptopRyzen:/etc/modprobe.d # modprobe pinctrl_amd
modprobe: FATAL: Module pinctrl_amd not found in directory /usr/lib/modules/6.12.6-1-default
LaptopRyzen:/etc/modprobe.d # modprobe elan_i2c

How to fix it?

[deano_ferrari]

The device is being handled as a PS/2 mouse, so the desktop touchpad config utility won’t control it as such.

The journal output may be of value…
sudo journalctl -b | egrep -i "input|touch"

A bug report is likely to be required to progress this issue.

[deano_ferrari]

Another thing to try - check the UEFI/BIOS for possible touchpad settings. Is legacy support enabled for it perhaps?

I couldn’t find any touchpad settings in the BIOS.

[deano_ferrari]

I suspected that would be the case.

Is the ELAN1200 device supported by the driver?

It worked some time ago:

I can only suggest filing a bug report.
