Hi All, the bug is due to a change in the name of the touch pad. (possibly due to driver changes.)

Edit the file /etc/acpi/asus-touchpad.sh

change this line:
XINPUTNUM=`xinput list | grep 'SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad' | sed -n -e's/.*id=\([0-9]\+\).*/\1/p'`

to this:
XINPUTNUM=`xinput list | grep 'ETPS/2 Elantech Touchpad' | sed -n -e's/.*id=\([0-9]\+\).*/\1/p'`
