I'm testing Freya in live mode but on my Asus X555 laptop the touchpad is not recognized.

I've found some tutorial to install Focaltech driver, anyway if I run xinput list from the command line i don't see any Focaltech emulation mode. It just show Virtual Core XTEST Pointer. How can i fix it?

Edit 1: I've just tried with a persistent USB mode. Installed Focaltech drivers and nothing has changed.

Edit 2 This is the output from xinput list

⎡ Virtual core pointer                      id=2    [master pointer  (3)]
⎜   ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer                id=4    [slave  pointer  (2)]
⎜   ↳ Microsoft Microsoft(R) Compact Optical Mouse  id=12   [slave  pointer  (2)]
⎣ Virtual core keyboard                     id=3    [master keyboard (2)]
    ↳ Virtual core XTEST keyboard               id=5    [slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ Power Button                              id=6    [slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ Video Bus                                 id=7    [slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ Sleep Button                              id=8    [slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ USB2.0 VGA UVC WebCam                     id=9    [slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ Asus WMI hotkeys                          id=10   [slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ AT Translated Set 2 keyboard              id=11   [slave  keyboard (3)]

The command uname -r returns 3.19.0-39-generic And this is the output from lspci

EDIT 3 I've also tried Ubuntu 15.10 live mode, with this distro the touchpad works as a mouse, no other gestures like 2-finger scrolling. The model name shown by xinput list is ELAN1000:00 04F3:0401

  • I do not have an FN key, and it is likely that this shortcut is not universal. A more descriptive answer would be more helpful.

  • @Lame It means that the touchpad has been disabled. I assume the user thought that your touchpad was simply turned off.
