Fusion Series: 15.6" Touchpad

[gusgorman]

Hello,

I've just installed Slackware Current on my new laptop. Everything seems to be working apart from the touchpad. I'm guessing other people are more likely to be running Ubuntu or other distributions. If any of you have got it working on this model would you be kind enough to let me know what driver you are using?

It looks like the kernel I've got doesn't even recognise the device, because as far as I can see nothing is showing up in /proc/bus/input/devices or if I run xinput list.

However, I've not got much experience solving this sort of problem so there may be something I've overlooked.

bash-5.0$ xinput list
⎡ Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)]
⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ PS/2+USB Mouse id=13 [slave pointer (2)]

Just wondering, is there any way the touchpad could be disabled in the bios? I just had a look and couldn't see anything, but just thought I'd ask incase I missed something.

Ok just a quick update to say that I've just booted from a live Ubuntu USB stick and the touchpad worked straight away, so it is supported by Linux.

And Slackware current is actually using a new version of the kernel, so theoritically should work too. I haven't had the time to research what the problem is yet though.

One further update to say the I have installed Manjaro Linux on this and it works fine too, so anyone looking at buying one of these to run Linux on can ignore my post about the touchpad not working.

I just installed Ubuntu on a new 14" Fusion. Zero issues. Worked straight away out of the box, touchpad, NVidia graphics, network, bluetooth the works. Only thing to watch out for is to avoid ordering the NMVe SSDs.

Chuffed as bunnies with the quality of this machine. Light as a feather, my old Chromebook is twice the weight and that's with a slow processor and crap graphics. Doesn't feel flimsy in any way though. I'm doing programming with glsl and CUDA and this is ideal for messing about with such things without spending the earth or carting a heavy box about.

I've got an NMVe SSD and its working totally fine.

It’s only the Lafite Pro that can’t take an NVME due to BIOS limitations, will work fine on other chassis.
