You bought a touchpad (which is actually a trackpad) from BOSTO and now you want to run it on Ubuntu? Great. Use the script to start use it

In dmesg you should see something like this to start with:

And then, all you need to do is run a script activate-pad.sh that will load the driver with the new parameters.

Tested on the environment:

• Kernel: Linux z-ubuntu 6.5.0-15-generic #15-Ubuntu SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Tue Jan 9 17:03:36 UTC 2024 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
• OS: Ubuntu 23.10 (Mantic)

Autostart

Add the script to a cron-job, preferably on boot with the crontab -e command.

@reboot /path/to/script/activate-pad.sh
