Touchpad recognized as PS/2 Logitech Wheel Mouse

Hi,

So far I have been unable to get to work the touchpad in my ASUS R510L (or X550LD). The touchpad is recognized as a mouse, the output of xinput list is:

$ xinput list
⎡ Virtual core pointer                    	id=2	[master pointer  (3)]
⎜   ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer              	id=4	[slave  pointer  (2)]
⎜   ↳ PS/2 Logitech Wheel Mouse               	id=14	[slave  pointer  (2)]
⎜   ↳ USB_PS2 Optical Mouse                   	id=11	[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)]
    ↳ Video Bus                               	id=8	[slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ Sleep Button                            	id=9	[slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ USB2.0 HD UVC WebCam                    	id=10	[slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ Asus WMI hotkeys                        	id=12	[slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ AT Translated Set 2 keyboard            	id=13	[slave  keyboard (3)]

Following the wiki, first I installed the psmouse-alps-driver from the AUR, it didn't worked. Then I tried the psmouse-elantech and it also didn't work.

I also tried the module psmouse-alpsv7-driver by he1per (https://github.com/he1per/psmouse-dkms-alpsv7) but didn't help. Of course I tried the modules having the previous one uninstalled and the default psmouse module reloaded. The touchpad is always recognized as a mouse (Either PS/2 Logitech Wheel Mouse, or Ps/2 Generic Mouse or Elantech mouse).

I keep getting this error constantly in dmesg, but I think it is a consequence rather than the source of the error:

psmouse serio4: Failed to enable mouse on isa0060/serio4

So I keep the module psmouse unloaded. I'm using the kernel 3.14.2-1. Of course the synaptic driver never gets to load, I tried to forced it in the Xorg configuration but it didn't help.

Running hwinfo ith the psmouse module loaded gives:

$ hwinfo
PS/2 00.0: 10500 PS/2 Mouse

Without psmouse loaded it recognizes it also recognizes it as a PS/2 Logitech Wheel Mouse.

Does anyone know what else can I try?

Thanks in advance!

Same issue, after kernel update from 3.14.2-1 to 3.14.3-1 my Elantech touchpad became PS/2 Logitech Wheel Mouse.

Oops, after rebooting problem automagically disappeared.

Re: Touchpad recognized as PS/2 Logitech Wheel Mouse

Hi, I just found this Launchpad bug:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+sour … ug/1325881

Is for Ubuntu 14.04, but seems to be the same bug I've got. It also affects other Asus models. So far I haven't found the problem.
