Unix & Linux Asked by Srajan Soni on December 17, 2021
I purchased a ASUS TUF FX504GE laptop and dual booted it with Ubuntu 18.04.1 .After which my elantech touchpad stopped working.I updated my kernel to 4.20.6, after which it does work,but freezes unexpectedly for 3-4 minutes.
After searching about this problem, for some people updating to 4.20 was the solution but still there are peoplefor whom this didn’t work.
Some solutions recommended running xinput
. My results are below:
⎡ Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)]
⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ ELAN1200:00 04F3:3090 Touchpad id=13 [slave pointer (2)]
⎣ Virtual core keyboard id=3 [master keyboard (2)]
↳ Virtual core XTEST keyboard id=5 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Power Button id=6 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Asus Wireless Radio Control id=7 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Video Bus id=8 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Video Bus id=9 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Power Button id=10 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Sleep Button id=11 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ USB2.0 HD UVC WebCam: USB2.0 HD id=12 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Asus WMI hotkeys id=14 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ AT Translated Set 2 keyboard id=15 [slave keyboard (3)]
The output shows id=13 as ELAN1200 touchpad. For the solutions suggested, this was wrongly set to PS/2 etc etc. But for me this value is correct.
I need to solve this issue.
I had same issue slightly different hardware. For me the answer was on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingTouchpadDetection
Under section two: In case your Touchpad stops working after a while
The first option: powermanagement did the trick
