[Bug 1810183] Re: numpad on touchpad doesn't work in ASUS Zenbook 14

For thus interrested, here is a mod version with only F8 to activate the
numpad and no detection above the first line. The mohamed version
capture 7,8,9 and / even if we click above the numbers. On this numpad
there is a blank area above with 2 icons on the up corners. On the left
for adjusting the light (let's give up on Linux) and one on the right to
toggle the numpad on and off.

The workaround way seems to be more sensitive than on windows OS. That's
why I disable the toggle area on the numpad.

Things seems to work better... but Firefox always go to previous pages
sometimes even if I didn't press anything.

This is definitively a workaround or perhaps mine has a problem I didn't
known since I never use it before !

Once again, Mohamed has taken on this project with brio and it is a real
success.

Many thanks.

Title:
numpad on touchpad doesn't work in ASUS Zenbook 14

Status in Linux:
New
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed

Bug description:
I have Asus Zenbook 14 UX433FA which I have installed Ubuntu 18.10 alongside windows 10.
The numeric keypads are within the touchpad and are supposed to be turned on by a button on the touchpad. This works well in Windows but doesn't work in Ubuntu.
I have tried to search for any related problems/solutions online but I haven't been able to.
I will appreciate any suggestion or help.
Thanks,
