Re: Few issues with Asus UX501VW

For those interested, there is a recent solution for the multi-touch issue:

A new kernel driver is being developed by Victor Vlasenko and others that is intended to be submitted to the kernel branch once it is fully tested.

Here is the repository: https://github.com/vlasenko/hid-asus-fte-dkms

It is working for me, either with synaptics or libinput Xorg driver, doing the following, in the directory where you want to download the code.

$ git clone https://github.com/vlasenko/hid-asus-fte-dkms
$ cd hid-asus-fte-dkms
$ ./dkms-add.sh

To make the module load permanent, i've added a .conf file in /etc/modules-load.d. Here is mine:

$ cat /etc/modules-load.d/touchpad.conf 
# Load hid_asus_fte 
hid_asus_fte

awesome! works for me. (Don't forget to install linux-headers & dkms to get this working)

The audio white noise always comes back after suspending...

Re: Few issues with Asus UX501VW

Considering this laptop and am curious if anyone knows if it'll charge over USB 3.1 Type-C connector at 60W or 100W? After scouring the Internet I fear the answer is no.

Re: Few issues with Asus UX501VW

Have you installed nvidia drivers? I cannot get working the fn buttons with nvidia and nvidia-utils instead of the acpi_osi=

But are you also disabling the nVidia card through bswitch at the same time? If so, please let us know how you got both to work.

Hey guys, anyone able to run this laptop with kernel 4.10?

It boots up for me but when I open any settings, everything would freeze, I can't even go to other TTY.

I'm running 4.10.8, no freezes.
However I still have the headphone noise problem, and also the sd card reader is not working. (Both problems have been present since I got the laptop).

Regarding the headphones, I just noticed that the sound gets way worse when I calculate md5sums of files.. maybe this will give someone a clue.
I've saved the original windows partition, and if i boot windows everything works.

It works for me if I don't have nvidia installed. So that means I can't play with it, I guess I can just revert back to lts linux and nvidia driver.

I have nvidia 378.13, seems to work. I'm not playing a lot though. I have a vague memory of having some problems getting it to work at first, but now I haven't noticed any problem.

Hey guys,

I made a script that fixes the issues with audio after suspend. You can check it out here.

Any feedback is appreciated!

Re: Few issues with Asus UX501VW

The current way I workaround the issue of white noise reappearing after suspend is to restart the audio card by first typing "sudo tee /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:00:1f.3/remove <<< 1" in shell, and follow by "sudo tee /sys/bus/pci/rescan <<< 1"

EDIT: Please do not consider the above method. It doesn't work on linux 4.13.11. dakatapetrov's scripts work on linux 4.13.11 here, but they do not work on linux-lts.

Re: Few issues with Asus UX501VW

Hey guys,
Today I bought a new SSD (WD Blue 1To) and it works perfectly. To keep using the old one I bought an external case with USB type C port.
So it was time to test the USB type C port that I never used before and it doesn't work.
It's not a problem because I can use the external disk with a regular usb port as well.
I cannot see the disk at all with an lsblk or fdisk, I will post the output of dmesg at the end of the post

Also, after reinstalling my system, I had some problem with high CPU usage by kworker. After few researches, I identified the interruption that cause this problem and
found a workaround :

echo "disable" > /sys/firmware/acpi/interrupts/gpe61

However, it works only for the current session and the problem happens randomly after boot (maybe one third of the time). It don't want to create a systemd service for a "workaround", but I will if I don't have a solution.
I haven't yet started and configured tlp and bumblebee, so the problem does not come from here.

Finally, I installed Windows as dual boot and I could test the SD card reader that works on Windows but not on Linux.

Do you have any idea for the high CPU usage by kworker (and the other things that could be fixed ?)

dmesg output when I plug the external SSD by USB type C :

Re: Few issues with Asus UX501VW

Hey,

I followed all the instructions from here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AS … _Pro_UX501 but I cannot achieve to have the headset microphone connected through 3.5mm jack working. Trying random things from alsamixer I got to be able to speak through the headset microphone but then I didn't able to listen through the headset.

$ cat /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf
options snd-hda-intel model=dell-headset-multi

I am not sure how to configure pulseaudio and alsamixer to get this working.

Could somebody give me a hand?

Re: Few issues with Asus UX501VW

Hi,
Same problem, I wanted to do the same thing recently, I cannot use both at the same time.
I would also be interested in a solution.
