Driver Does Not Work #7

Closed kah0922 closed 7 years ago

kah0922 commented 7 years ago

I have an ASUS X540LA running the lastest openSUSE Tumbleweed. I installed the driver, but my touchpad is still recognized as a mouse.

Wait, never mind. Didn't blacklist hic_generic. It's working now.

Glad to hear it's working. But you shouldn't need to blacklist hid_generic (and you might need it if you plug in a USB mouse for example). The new driver should be picked up if it is in your initrd.

I'm not 100% sure how to add it to initrd in openSUSE - but for Ubuntu you need to edit /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and add a single entry of: hid_asus_fte

And then rebuild your initrd with: update-initramfs -u

It's up to you if you want to try this - but it would be good to have confirmation that this driver works in openSUSE without having to blacklist hid_generic.

I should also point out that you can check the driver is in your initrd by running: lsinitramfs /boot/initrd.img-$(uname -r) | grep asus
