I'm on Arch Linux. The device ID for my touchpad is 304A. I tried this a few days ago on 4.14 and it seemed to perform much better than the original driver during my limited testing!

Are you meant to blacklist the hid_multitouch module? My touchpad only worked if the original driver was loaded first. This would happen on boot and on waking up from sleep.

I've recently updated to kernel 4.15 and the driver no longer seems to work. modprobe hid-elan terminates with a SIGKILL, and that seems to mess up everything afterwards (modprobe hid_multitouch hangs and I have to reboot).

Thanks a lot for your work on this!

I have the following hardware and software:

System:    Host: localhost.localdomain Kernel: 4.13.13-200.fc26.x86_64 x86_64 bits: 64
           Desktop: KDE Plasma 5.10.5 Distro: Fedora release 26 (Twenty Six)
Machine:   Device: laptop System: ASUSTeK product: UX530UX v: 1.0 serial: N/A
           Mobo: ASUSTeK model: UX530UX v: 1.0 serial: N/A
           UEFI: American Megatrends v: UX530UX.301 date: 03/03/2017

And works fine!

Please keep on working on this driver!
Thanks

On a laptop ASUS FX503VD with touchpad ELAN1200:00 04F3:303E, your kernel module doesn't seems to work.

I've changed vendor identifiers to fits 04F3:303E but it does not work.

Here the steps I did on a fedora 27 (kernel 4.14.16-300.fc27.x86_64) :

• git clone https://github.com/mishurov/linux_elan1200_touchpad.git
• cd linux_elan1200_touchpad
• edited hid-elan.c :

#define USB_VENDOR_ID_ELANTECH 0x04f3
#define USB_DEVICE_ID_ELAN1200_I2C_TOUCHPAD 0x303e

• make

make -C /lib/modules/4.14.16-300.fc27.x86_64/build M=/home/papsou/linux_elan1200_touchpad modules
make[1] : on entre dans le répertoire « /usr/src/kernels/4.14.16-300.fc27.x86_64 »
  Building modules, stage 2.
  MODPOST 1 modules
make[1] : on quitte le répertoire « /usr/src/kernels/4.14.16-300.fc27.x86_64 »

• sudo insmod ./hid-elan.ko

The pointer is still « locked » and a click event is still triggered when starting move.

I'm trying to run userland.c to try debug device but the output is empty. am I doing something wrong ? :

• gcc ./userland.c
• ./a.out /dev/input/event12

Works on Asus ux430ua!

Using the userspace driver on Ubuntu 18.04 running KDE Plasma 5.12.5. Still not the greatest trackpad in the world but this driver has certainly helped make it usable .
Personally, I keep tap to click and all gestures except two finger scrolling disabled.

Thanks for your work on this @mishurov

Hello

I have to install for a friend Linux Solus on a ASUS FX504.

I tested if the hardware was well recognized with a Live USB, and unfortunately the Trackpad ELAN1200 is not.

I will clone WIN10, install Solus and update to see if it working.

If not, could you please tell me how to install your driver via terminal ? Because I don't know what to do. Or maybe do you have a link with tutorial ?

Thanks for your help, and sorry for my english

Hello @mishurov

Could you tell me where do you get the structure of ELAN1200 report?

Hi. How can I install it? And is it compatible with asus gl503vm? Thanks

I entered the directory and executed make and then sudo insmod hid-elan.ko. Is there anything else that needs to be done?

The latest commit c386f92 fixed the suspend issue but broke the overall functionality of the module for me. The module is loaded but does not fix anymore the random jumps and random right-click events during two-finger scrolling. I am using kernel 4.15.6.
