Asus TUF F15 FX506HM Trackpad issue

au flag

I am new to Linux and I just installed Ubuntu on a new ASUS TUF F15 FX506HM, and I had a couple of problems regarding the Wi-Fi adapter and the touchpad. In order to solve the Wi-Fi problem I updated the kernel to the latest version, but that did not solve the trackpad issue (did not solve the Wi-Fi problem completely either, apparently there are no drivers yet for the Wi-Fi adapter I have mt7921e, but this is a different discussion for another time).

To solve the trackpad issue I followed a couple of tutorials on YouTube and discussions on different forums and the solutions found were to edit the grub file in /etc/default/grub and to modify the two lines containing "GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT" and "GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX" introducing different values for those two fields. No solution worked.

Please help me, I do not know what to do next. This is the output from the xinput command:

    WARNING: running xinput against an Xwayland server. See the xinput man page for details.

I am running Ubuntu 21.04 with the kernel 5.12.10. Thank you for your help and attention!

Today, all of a sudden, the touchpad started to work for me under Arch Linux. Try updating your system.

Libinput identifies the touchpad as:

Device:           ELAN1203:00 04F3:307A Touchpad
Kernel:           /dev/input/event258
Group:            8
Seat:             seat0, default
Size:             101x52mm
Capabilities:     pointer gesture
Tap-to-click:     disabled
Tap-and-drag:     enabled
Tap drag lock:    disabled
Left-handed:      disabled
Nat.scrolling:    disabled
Middle emulation: n/a
Calibration:      n/a
Scroll methods:   *two-finger edge 
Click methods:    none
Disable-w-typing: enabled
Accel profiles:   flat *adaptive
Rotation:         n/a

And XInput identifies it as:

⎜   ↳ ELAN1203:00 04F3:307A Mouse               id=15   [slave  pointer  (2)]
⎜   ↳ ELAN1203:00 04F3:307A Touchpad            id=16   [slave  pointer  (2)]

Info about the kernel:

$ uname -r

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
