Hi all-
I'm having trouble getting the trackpad enabled on a new Asus Q551LN laptop on which I'm dual booting Kali and Win10.
The touchscreen works fine, but is a pain and awfully inaccurate. (Ok...maybe I'm the inaccurate one or have fat fingers, but whatever.)
I have a USB wireless mouse that works fine when I plug it in. (Touchpad problem exists with or without USB Mouse plugged in.)
There are some error messages in dmesg (listed below) with the Touchpad. When I view this device in Windows it shows up as just "Asus Touchpad" with no model or anything listed. Xinput lists it as an ETPS/2 Elantech Touchpad. It is the kind with no separate buttons, both left/right click are on the touchpad.
I've read a few posts about the same problem in other linux ditros and patches were needed but don't see anything for Kali.
Any guidance would be appreciated.
