Fujitsu Lifebook AH544 Touch Pad Not Working In Ubuntu 14.04

Question

Fujitsu Lifebook AH544 Touch Pad Not Working In Ubuntu 14.04, resolved.

Made in Germany Laptop Intel Core i3-4000M processor (2.4 GHz, 3MB) 4 GB DDR3 500GB SATA, S.M.A.R.T. 15.6"DOS1 Year Onsite Warranty

Answer 1

I found the solution from Arch Linux Forum, here is the link. https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=148115

To get the touchpad working I had to append

i8042.notimeout i8042.nomux

to the kernel boot parameters.

/etc/default/grub

Commands

sudo gedit /etc/default/grub

then find this line

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"

Extend the line with adding the above mentioned kernel boot parameter like below.

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash i8042.notimeout i8042.nomux"

Then update the rub

sudo update-grub

Reeboot the system, Cheers!

This worked for me on my Fujitsu Lifebook A series with Ubuntu 14.04:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash i8042.notimeout i8042.nomux"
