3.19-rc3 Kernel Problems On Asus Notebooks Dear Kernel developers, wish you all the best in the new 2015 year :) Unfortunately, my family has some big troubles with using Linux, so I'm reporting problems here: Notebook Asus N750JVT-4069H (Intel® Core™ i7-4700HQ; Bit 64; RAM 16GB; Nvidia GeForce GT750M) Notebook Asus X750JN-TY027H (Intel® Core™ i7-4710HQ; Bit 64; RAM 8GB; Nvidia GeForce GT 840M) Operating system: Ubuntu 14.04.1 ----------- After the installation of Kernel 3.18.1, clean installation of Nvidia drivers (340.65-0ubuntu1~xedger) on both notebooks results with black-screen after failed booting attempt. Thats exactly the reason why today, experimenting, I have installed kernel 3.19-rc3 on Asus N750JVT-4069H with Nvidia drivers already present, and why I didn't tried at all to install Nvidia drivers on Asus X750JN-TY027H. ----------- Asus N750JVT-4069H Kernel 3.19-rc3 1) Ubuntu system message during the Kernel installation: sorry, a problem occurred while installing software. package: nvidia-340 2) Kernel installation process: update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-3.19.0-031900rc3-generic W: Possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/rtl_nic/rtl8107e-2.fw for module r8169 W: Possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/rtl_nic/rtl8107e-1.fw for module r8169 W: Possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/rtl_nic/rtl8168h-2.fw for module r8169 W: Possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/rtl_nic/rtl8168h-1.fw for module r8169 3) Message shown during the boot: Ignoring BGRT: invalid status 0 (expected 1) 4) FN keys not working: FN (F5) Decreases display brightness FN (F6) Increases display brightness 5) I am not an expert, so I am not able to recognize all eventual problems, but something is definitely wrong with all those "*BAD*gran_size: 2M, chunk_size: 2G" lines inside dmesg: http://paste.ubuntu.com/9681108/ ----------- Asus X750JN-TY027H Kernel 3.19-rc3 1) Kernel installation process: W: Possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/rtl_nic/rtl8107e-2.fw for module r8169 W: Possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/rtl_nic/rtl8107e-1.fw for module r8169 W: Possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/rtl_nic/rtl8168h-2.fw for module r8169 W: Possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/rtl_nic/rtl8168h-1.fw for module r8169 2) Message shown during the boot: Ignoring BGRT: invalid status 0 (expected 1) 3) Touchpad is completely unfunctional (even cursor is missing): Output of xinput: ⎡ Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)] ⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)] ⎜ ↳ Logitech USB Optical Mouse id=11 [slave pointer (2)] ⎜ ↳ ETPS/2 Elantech Touchpad id=14 [slave pointer (2)] ⎣ Virtual core keyboard id=3 [master keyboard (2)] ↳ Virtual core XTEST keyboard id=5 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Power Button id=6 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Video Bus id=7 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Video Bus id=8 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Sleep Button id=9 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ USB Camera id=10 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Asus WMI hotkeys id=12 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ AT Translated Set 2 keyboard id=13 [slave keyboard (3)] 4) Dmesg contains quite a lot of errors (mostly ACPI): http://paste.ubuntu.com/9681045/
Hallo! I have it problem on my asus x200ma too, Fedora 21 (from 3.18 and more version of kernels): Asus x200ma (Pentium N3530) kernel 3.18.5 and more 1) Message shown during the boot: Ignoring BGRT: invalid status 0 (expected 1) 2) After boot i have black screen. I need press to power off button and then press any key that screen is on. 3) FN keys not working too: FN (F5) Decreases display brightness FN (F6) Increases display brightness 4) I have an errors when the notebook is boot (i see it in logs, because when my notebook is boot i have screen is off ): intel_soc_dts_thermal: request_threaded_irq ret -22 dmesg: http://pastebin.com/4cpEa43w lsusb: lsusb Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub Bus 001 Device 004: ID 05e3:0608 Genesys Logic, Inc.

Hi aljosa On the Asus X750JN-TY027H, Does the following command as root make your touchpad work ? echo 1 > /sys/devices/platform/i8042/serio4/reg_07
Hello, very thanks for your reply :) I have tried few days ago the new Manjaro XFCE 0.9.0-pre4 edition, and yesterday I have installed daily build image of the new Ubuntu 15.04 into Asus optimus notebook N750JVT-4069H. I would be very grateful if someone can explain to me why with Manjaro i have a nice dmesg output, while with Ubuntu I have so many bad lines related to "mtrr_gran_size/mtrr_chunk_size": http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2269801 Related to my wife's Asus optimus notebook X750JN-TY027H and the Elantech touchpad problem, I've made an experiment with the new Manjaro and Ubuntu beta editions (live cd). While with both systems touchpad remains completely dead, with Manjaro at least cursor is visible. Today, on Ubuntu 14.04.2 with kernel 3.19.1, your solution is an absolute miracle :) :) :) finally :) :) :) I really hope that next 3.19.3 and 4.0-rc5 kernel will solve this shit once forever, also becaues I don't have a clue how to implement permanently your magic formula. Please if you can just tell me if all those mostly ACPI errors inside dmesg output are caused by touchpad problem or by something else: http://paste.ubuntu.com/9681045/ Thanks in advance for your reply, ciao
hello, i have the same problem, my laptop is an ASUS f550ze-xx072h, using the following command as root the trackpad start working immediatly: echo 1 > /sys/devices/platform/i8042/serio4/reg_07
