It has an elantech touchpad. As detailed in this bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=848270 the acer-wmi driver has two issues on this device. #1) It is sending TOUCHPAD_TOGGLE and simultaneously changing state #2) It disables the touchpad at init It should apparently be doing neither of those. If I boot with acer-wmi blacklisted the touchpad works perfectly, all other Fn+key combos work other than brightness control. -- Nathanael d. Noblet t 403.875.4613
