Dear Dmitry Torokhov,

I have filed a bug report on launchpad and gathered the information from
wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/kernel. I believe that you are the correct
person to email with this concern.

XE500C12-K01US Samsung Chromebook 2 Ubuntu 16.04 touchpad not responsive

The chromebook is new and the touchpad worked great with chromiumos but not
at all with Ubuntu.

I believe this model uses Atmel touchpad, for which we do have a driver
in mainline (even though it is not the most up-to-date one). I see that
Ubuntu has it configured to be a module, does it help if you do:

sudo modprobe atmel_mxt_ts

Thanks.
