Description Jérôme Hénin 2014-12-26 22:50:54 CET

Focaltech touchpads are found in recent Asus laptops and not supported by kernel 3.18.

This branch implements a simple yet functional driver:
https://github.com/mgottschlag/linux/tree/focaltech3

actually added by this single commit:
https://github.com/mgottschlag/linux/commit/9e199c3992538a28ac76be71e938aea1257b8eb2

I am using this driver without problem in a custom kernel. Please consider including it in mga kernel for out-of-the-box support of newer laptops.

Hello,
I have Asus laptop UX 303LA with Focaltech touchpad.
I run Mageia 5.
The touchpad is working, but not the "two fingers" feature. Is it the attempted behaviour?
kernel in use: kernel-3.19.8-desktop-3.mga5

Sorry for the noise.
I had done an upgrade from mga4. I just checked parameters in KDE and found what I never seen, the ability to activate the "two fingers" feature.
