But the thread you linked did give me some insight, looks like my touchpad gets recognized as a generic PS/2 mouse and uses the X11 mouse driver even though it used synaptics in GNU/Linux. 11099 fps on Arch and various endpoints for laptops. ISP issue unfortunately a USB Type-C cables. I don't have much knowledge with Linux and would really appreciate some help with this, if you need anymore information just ask. I presume as touchpad gets recognized as linux. One of the reasons I started using linux on my laptop over windows was that touchpads are just so atrocious to use under windows, regardless of what touchpad hardware and driver I used in windows (super buggy two finger scrolling, often impossible to configure two finger.

I have also noticed that this seems to happen to mostly Lenovo products, so something with the way Lenovo makes their Touchpad Drivers doesn't work with the Linux kernel? the synaptics drivers are included out of the box in pretty much every linux distro. Tried to "build my own" kernel following some guides, got kinda far but certain steps weren't working and since I don't have a vast knowledge I don't know what to do. I looked into the kernel itself assuming that at this point the kernel has no idea what to do with these drivers and the touchpad "touchscreen". Tried installing/updated Elan Drivers as well as various other drivers that could of helped

Driver is just bad optimisation with the kernel. So I guess this tells us that it can detect it, put something is missing e.g. Also that touchscreen ELAN0001 = Touchpad touch (ELAN0001). Meaning when I touch it, its 03 and when I let go it is 01. When I let go: elants_i2c i2c-ELAN0001:00: unknown packet 0e 00 04 01 I went through the installation with a external Mouse, then started troubleshooting.ĭid: xinput : Nothing related to touchpad came up.ĭid: cat /proc/bus/input/devices : Nothing related to touchpad appeared, however a device called i2c-ELAN0001:00/input/input4 what their with the name "Elan Touchscreen" this seemed strange as this isn't a touchscreen laptop.ĭid some searching and discovered that doing ctrl+alt+F3 enters a Virtual Terminal, I logged in and touched my touchpad:įirst touch: elants_i2c i2c-ELAN0001:00: unknown packet 0e 00 04 03 The Windows driver/software has a feature that enables auto-disable touchpad when a USB mouse attached. I have a Dell Inspiron 6400 laptop and I use Fedora 7 on it. When it comes to Linux I am still very new so any tips will be grateful Synaptics touchpad is generally used by many laptop manufacturers, such Acer, Dell, etc. I recently started up my laptop and decided to put Pop OS thinking that it might go, but it didn't. Supports PS2-HID, ELAN, Synaptics, FTE, Atmel, some USB devices and more.

At this stage I was quite busy and didn't have time to look into it.
#Synaptics usb touchpad linux windows 10
Hi, I got a Lenovo laptop last year for college and have been using windows 10 on it, but recently I have been interested in Linux, specifically Pop OS!.Īt first I was going to download Ubuntu, I got it ready on the usb stick and as soon as I started installing I noticed that my touchpad wasn't working, I plugged in a external USB mouse thinking it might just be a missing driver etc, but when I loaded in it wasn't even listed in xinput/ xinput list.
