Touchpad Problem of Axioo Zetta TEC 6122Y on Ubuntu
It is a common problem on Axioo Zetta 6122Y (maybe exists on another Zetta series) that the touchpad is not working. By default, Ubuntu recognize notebook touchpad as Synaptic Touchpad and it should work using this driver.
[ 31.436281] input: SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad as /devices/platform/i8042/serio1/input/input9
I don’t know exactly why it can be a different behaviour on Zetta 6122. I assume that the touchpad on this notebook has an additional functionality as a mouse scroller.
To make the touchpad work, you need to insert i8042.nomux to the grub config file (/boot/grub/menu.lst) and then update the grub.
Here is the line you need to edit :
# kopt=root=UUID=847dfded-cd8a-467a-9fa4-b4fa9a05b308 ro noapic nolapic i8042.nomux
prazet@sapiterbang:~$ sudo update-grub
