Hi guys,
I’m trying to disable the Windows capacitive button under Linux to prevent the annoying random ghost touches. I’ve tried to disable the touchscreen using xinput and disabling i2c_designware_platform and i2c_designware_core drivers, but I had no luck and the problem persists. I think that the button is managed by another driver but I don’t know how to find it. Any ideas?

Thanks a lot for the response. Even worse than what I expected.  🙁

I think we have to wait for an update of Linux Kernel for solve this problem, and surfing the web it seems to be not so easy also for the kernel developers. Moreover, I sent a tweet to Intel support asking if they are planning a solution to the problem but they just replied that this CPU family has not Intel support for Linux but only for Windows 10.

I’m happy to hear it! However I’m scared to damage the CPU using linux (as claimed by the documentation provided by intel) so I’ll wait for a patch before to buy the tablet. Did you try to install powertop and check the Idle stats? Just to know if the deepest power saving state is only PC3.

Wow!!! Thank you so much man. Let’s hope that the issue with Skylake CPU’s family will be fixed soon. :'(

Could someone post a video to show how it looks like with ubuntu on board?

Thank you 🙂
