Hi Hans

Sorry for the delay.

I'm afraid I haven't built a kernel before, so I need some help.

I've found this link I think describes what I have to do
https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/applying-patches.txt
I suppose it's right.

I've installed kernel 4.0.0-040000rc6.201503291935. So I suppose I have to
download sources for this kernel.

Once downloaded, I have to change to the kernel source dir and run:
$ patch -p1 < ../0001-elantech-Fix-detection-of-touchpads-where-the-revisi.patch

Is all that right?

Yes that is correct.

If yes, should I compile this patched kernel? How can I do it?

Usually your distro will have a wikipage with instructions on how to build
your own kernel, and it is best to follow your distros instructions.

If you're using Fedora I can build a test kernel for you to install.

Regards,

Hans



Thanks in advance.

Ok, so the "ETD0108" here means that you have an elantech ps/2 touchpad.
Great! You got it.

This also stands out in the log:

> [    0.958323] i8042: [49] MUX error, status is 75, data is fe

So the first thing to try is to boot with i8042.nomux=1 on the kernel
commandline.
I have done it. The touchpad issue hasn't been solved. Do you want me to send
dmesg output?

I've taken another look at the traces you've posted before and I think that
I've found the problem. Can you build a kernel with the attached patch
and let us know if that fixes things ?

Regards,

Hans
