I recently installed Ubuntu 16.04 on my HP Envy and can’t get the touchscreen working. No response when I touch the screen, even after reboot. I’ve seen a couple of other topics on this but none that solved my issue so I apologize if a solution is already out there somewhere.

As suggested by another post:
username@username-HP-ENVY-x360-m6-Convertible:~$ sudo rmmod hid_multitouch [sudo] password for username: rmmod: ERROR: Module hid_multitouch is not currently loaded
Tried this and as expected no effect:
xinput set-prop 11 "Device Enabled" 0 && xinput set-prop 11 "Device Enabled" 1
I don’t know much about Ubuntu or drivers so I don’t really know what to do with this information.
Answer
I have the same problem. HP Envy x360 m6-ar004dx…touchscreen no worky on Arch Linux (latest trunk), nor Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. As best I can tell, this thing has an ELAN0732 I2C touchscreen controller (/sys/dev/bus/i2c/...
). Manually loading (modprobe
) hid_multitouch
, elants_i2c
, etc., has yielded no progress. Touchscreen works fine in Windows. Not sure where to go from here, other than wait for the mfr. to release a driver, or someone who knows touchscreen controllers to fix hid_multitouch
.
Also, for those of you with this model laptop…perform an lsmod | grep -i acer
and if you see a module listed, you should uninstall and blacklist it. NetworkManager
will once again be able to control your WiFi 😛
