EZBook 3 Pro V4 touchpad dies when using Linux: fixable?

[Chris G]

I think it will get fixed, someone in the Linux community will find a way. I’m lucky it doesn’t affect me as I stick to Windows 95% of the time and there the touchpad works great with the Windows precision drivers.

It’s not because of rEFInd, I’ve had same behaviour with GRUB

Mine was not working then after installing a working version of Linux and the Refind boot manager (yes, Grub currently has problems with Apoll-Lake systems) and going back and resetting BIOS defaults it started working again on both Windows and Linux (Antergos Gnome 17.11) see my other post here.   The system is pretty slick with Antergos.
