Touchpad laptop (ASUS TUF 565DV-AL136T) not recognized

theventus

The issue might be hardware specific as I am using the same Elantech 1200 touchpad.
Just to let you know, the touchpad works real fine on 5.4.18-1-MANJARO (KDE), although it fails to work on live medium.

libinput on my manjaro system gives the following output

Device: ELAN1200:00 04F3:303E Touchpad Kernel: /dev/input/event13 Group: 9 Seat: seat0, default Size: 103x71mm Capabilities: pointer gesture Tap-to-click: disabled Tap-and-drag: enabled Tap drag lock: disabled Left-handed: disabled Nat.scrolling: disabled Middle emulation: disabled Calibration: n/a Scroll methods: *two-finger edge Click methods: *button-areas clickfinger Disable-w-typing: enabled Accel profiles: none Rotation: n/a

theventus my manjaro system

Which kernel? All I can find is that the elantech 1200 has kernel related issues, so would be good to know which kernel was working.

And for all of you,dmesg | grep elan, does it show any?

Have any of you tried reloading the needed module, added some restrictions? Try the following and see if the touchpad is at least found:

sudo rmmod psmouse
sudo modprobe psmouse proto=exps

Two finger scrolling won't be supported then.

Further research for Elantech 1200 showed this started after linux 5.2.8, so the above comments about other distros working make sense, since they are on older kernels at that time.
Seems for some, they could get the touchpad to the state of 5.2.8 and before by adding elantech_smbus=0 synaptics_intertouch=0 to the kernel boot line (or adding that to the bootloader kernel line).

theventus

I am using a manjaro system with 5.4.18-1-MANJARO and I have tried the latest available kernel there i.e. 5.5.2-1 works fine as well.

Sorry demm but I have switched to manjaro back so I won't be able to check if your suggestions work. But it is highly appreciated mate! This project is awesome, in near future I'm going to try this again on my other machines.

Idk how this might be useful but I'm quoting the dmesg output from my manjaro kde below as it seems it indeed has some issues with manjaro too but they somehow made it work it seems.

Hi guys
dmesg | grep elan shows nothing x)
reloading psmouse module didn't work ...
elantech_smbus=0 synaptics_intertouch=0 same with these :/

My keyboard backlight doesn't work as well (in kaos only), i think it's related i forgot to mention it too 😅

Hello, I just installed May 2020 release, and it looks like the problem persists, I think I can live with it, but if I can test something for you, let me know

demm

joseangel-leyva I can test something for you, let me know

See my previous post (#14) in this thread for needed info and trial to see if adding to the kernel line helps.

joseangel-leyva

I tried but it did not work, reading on some other places they recommend i2c-tools package, but it's not in the repo list

demm

Please post the logs as asked for, so far no-where near enough debug info to try and fix. Links for the i2c-tools recommendations? I do not see any in the source for that that addresses elantech. "Nothing" or "did not work" is not a helpful response, full dmesg is needed, system info, error logs and so on.

Has any of you tried to get the latest firmware for your system with fwupd?

hello all,

I have the same issue - my laptop is Lenovo Ideapad 330 - My touchpad is not working - I confirm it works in my MXLinux 19 patio ( kernel 5.4.0-3-amd64 )

I am using KaOS-2020.05-x86_64 and various sysinfo as below

Any change with updating the firmware through fwupd? Any known drivers added for this hardware in MXlinux?

I did not do anything like that, shall I run that command ? is it safe ?

not that I remember - the touchpad was working in fresh install itself

No updates for fwupd either 🙁
Still looks mostly like a kernel change, any chance any of you can try and see if Linux 5.7 has any fixes/improvements?
See the doc to install linux-next:

Looks like Debian/Ubuntu patches the kernel for elantech:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1700657

Finding many links now for reports on this touchpad failing, examples:
https://askubuntu.com/questions/1049787/lenovo-ideapad-330-touchpad-not-working/1052566#1052566
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=256002

One thing I can try is adjusting the kernel config and disable CONFIG_I2C_SMBUS and CONFIG_MOUSE_PS2_ELANTECH_SMBUS, this will be done/tested in linux-next (next build, for 5.7.2).

EDIT:
One more fairly common recommendation is to add psmouse.elantech_smbus=0 to the kernel boot line (should have the same effect as rebuilding the kernel with the elantech entries disabled).

demm

Can any of you report back on the state of these touchpads using linux-next 5.7.2?

kamilomelo

It did not worked for me (neither solved the audio in the other tread until the sof-firmware solution). I reinstalled KaOS and I am in the same status of no Touchpad device recognized by the OS.

I also think my computer has Elantech only to drive the trackpoint, but not the trackpad or Touchpad.

On the other hand, checking from an Ubuntu installation where the touchpad worked, it reports these HID devices:

That is so far the status

demm

So, is this with linux-next 5.7.2? Or psmouse.elantech_smbus=0 added to the kernel boot line?

kamilomelo

Please don't be confused by my previous post. I remind you that the previous lsmod and dmesg outputs were in Ubuntu, where the touchpad worked perfectly. Not in KaOS with the current kernel. Also, when I went to linux-next, it also did not worked.

demm

kamilomelo Also, when I went to linux-next, it also did not worked.

Is it so hard to post exact outputs? 5.7.2 moved today, so there is no indication what you used. Your previous post just talks about didn't work, then post about Ubuntu, no logs, no dmesg, no answers about kernel version or boot lines used or anything related to KaOS. This issue can only be resolved if there is actual help, not more posts it didn't work or I also think my computer.
Make sure to read asking and reporting the smart way.
