Hi Victor,

First of all, thanks a lot for your hard work. I'm trying your driver but I'm getting the following error when executing the ./dev-run.sh command

arch/x86/Makefile:148: CONFIG_X86_X32 enabled but no binutils support

I'm running Kubuntu 16.04 with kernel 4.4.0-45 generic x86_64 xinput output is

⎡ Virtual core pointer                          id=2    [master pointer  (3)]
⎜   ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer                id=4    [slave  pointer  (2)]
⎜   ↳ FTE1001:00 0B05:0101                      id=11   [slave  pointer  (2)]
⎣ Virtual core keyboard                         id=3    [master keyboard (2)]

What should I do with that compiler error? is it possible to fix this or I must install a different kernel?

Oddly (according to this http://askubuntu.com/questions/367838/compiling-error-while-installing-realtek-rtl8111e-in-64-bit-13-10-config-x86-x) you can't compile a driver when there is a space in the path name.

I tried this myself and got the same error that you are seeing. So just try renaming 'Touchpad driver' to 'Touchpad_driver'.

larixer commented 7 years ago

This is odd. @redmcg perhaps we should add notice in README.md, that path to the driver should not contain spaces?

serguitus commented 7 years ago

Wow! that's odd. I will make sure to never name folders with spaces again :) Thanks for your fast response. You can add the K501U to the fixed list. This works like a charm :) I guess we can close this as fixed.
