I just got a brand new ASUS UX580GD, and have installed Ubuntu 18.04. My issue which I noticed straight away is the screenpad. It just plain doesn't work as a touchpad, probably since it isn't recognized as one. I haven't found anyone having this issue, probably since no one actually installed ubuntu on one of these. Does anyone know if there's a driver or a fix so the trackpad can at least be used (bonus points for the screen as well).

Thanks!

I had the same problem with my ASUS (UX580GD)

I fixed it by installing Ubuntu 18.10.

First, i tried it without installing Touch-pad worked fine.

Then, when i installed it, and after the first reboot the system freezes after login. (nothing at all responds)

I chose to boot on rescue mode and executed this command:

$ sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall

Once the installation is concluded, i rebooted the system and my problem is solved.

    Screenpad work in my UX580GD too, but there's still and issue with screenpad which has no drivers.

    I've allready sent via apport bug here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/1846090

Try to combine Touchscreen with external display (How to force Ubuntu to detect external display?)

ScreenPad lights up in Xubuntu 19.10. Last Kubuntu shows logo in screenpad while boots, but there's no software for Linux systems
