No such device? #32

I'm using my ZenBook Pro and I'm getting this error when running the script.

It seems like it's not finding the pattern that is being grepped from dmesg.

Any hints on how to debug this?

Also, is this driver for the touchpad? Silly question, but I'm not actually sure if it's for the touchpad (which doesn't work), or for the touch display (which works.. sortof). Either way I was linkd here from here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ASUS_Zenbook_Pro_UX501

The driver is for the Touchpad. I think Asus have used different models of Touchpad in their same model of laptop - so it might be your laptop doesn't have the Focaltech Touchpad that this driver is built for.

The easiest way to check is to run: xinput

This will output all your input devices.

If it is Focaltech you'll see either:

I know one of the other users who tried our driver had an Elantech Touchpad. So you can also try:

basename `ls -d /sys/bus/acpi/devices/{FT*,EL*} 2> /dev/null`

to see if either a FTE entry (for Focaltech) or a ELAN entry comes up.

I did have the ELAN touchpad. Yeah. Thanks!

  • FTE1001:00 0B05:0101 (when our driver is not running); or
  • Asus TouchPad (when it is)
