Unix & Linux Asked by nnyby on October 31, 2021
I have a Lenovo Ideapad 320-15ABR, (I found the exact model name with dmidecode
). I’m having trouble getting the touchpad to work. It’s not showing up in xinput --list
or cat /proc/bus/input/devices
. I’m using Linux 4.13.2, compiled with some extra debugging messages.
Here’s some relevant dmesg output when booted with i8042.nopnp
. Without this option, I get the message: i8042: PNP: PS/2 appears to have AUX port disabled, if this is incorrect please boot with i8042.nopnp
$ dmesg|grep psm

I’ve opened a ticket here in case anyone is interested in following this problem: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=196985
I have a Lenovo Ideapad 320.
Problem: Elan Touchpad (and a cursor, of course) randomly freezes. The system (Ubuntu 18.04) needs to be rebooted.
My workaround solution (with modprobe) is:
to make 2 scripts – I named them touchactive.sh
and touchactive2.sh
in /bin ( do it with sudo gedit...or something)
touchactive.sh
:
#!/bin/bash
modprobe -r elan_i2c
touchactive2.sh
:
#!/bin/bash
modprobe elan_i2c[/b]
then in terminal: sudo visudo
you add these lines:
vader ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /bin/touchactive.sh
vader ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /bin/touchactive2.sh
(vader
is my user name, so you change it with yours...)
...and save it
open system settings -> keyboard -> "+" -> and create shortcuts with keybinding:
name "Touchpad Elan Restart" 1 with keys "super" + "z" command: sudo /bin/touchactive.sh and... "Touchpad Elan Restart 2" with keys "super" + "x" command: sudo /bin/touchactive2.sh
restart computer
(this is my example you can choose different option, keys and names)
So when all freezes, you can just use keys super z and super x then your touchpad / cursor restarts without rebooting the whole system.
This is my solution and some relief (not very elegant, though...) so I can work normaly until release of a next kernel (there is some hope...)
