Laptop Data:
Asus Pro P550C (Asus Pro P550CA-XO330D)
openSUSE 13.1 (x86_64) KDE 4.11.2
Symptoms: The Touchpad doesn’t respond at any time. The cursor moves to the left in small steps every ~5 seconds.
Any help is highly appreciated.
The following commands might help us determine if your touchpad is detected/supported
cat /proc/bus/input/devices
xinput -list
With new hardware, it is sometimes necessary to upgrade the running kernel (to gain the necessary support).
A useful Ubuntu wiki page on the subject of touchpad detection
From that, one can get a good idea of whether a bug report is required etc
Thank you for your reply.
After executing:
cat /proc/bus/input/devices
xinput -list
Various input devices are listed. Including the Keyboard and a PS/2 Logitech Wheel Mouse but no Touchpad entry. It seems as if the Touchpad is being recognised as a PS/2 mouse.
Later this day I’m going to try to use different/updated kernels. I also found some forum entries of users with slightly different Asus Laptop models with the same problem. Going to keep this thread updated on any progress.
I agree with deano_ferrari about updating the kernel to v3.15.6x. Include updating kernel-sources and kernel-syms. Also update the newer mkinitrd package from the same repository.
Add this repository to Yast:http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Kernel:/stable/standard
And the “xf86-input-synaptics” package. Some other packages may have to be updated from the same repository.http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/X11:/XOrg/openSUSE_13.1/
