Lenovo ThinkBook 14-IML Touchpad not showing up in /proc/bus/input/devices

[Jonas Behrendt]

== SRU Justification ==
[Impact]
Touchpad on sereval Lenovo ThinkBook doesn't work.

[Fix]
Maintain method calling ordering by calling _REG before issuing _STA, as
ACPI spec suggested, for I2C ACPI devices.

[Test]
Positive feedback from several users.

[Regression Potential]
If there are some systems that rely on the wrong calling ordering then
there's a regression risk. However it's rather unlikely.

== Original Bug Report ==
This is happening on a ThinkBook 14 IML 20RV.

[Kai-Heng Feng (kaihengfeng)]

Please try boot with kernel parameter "i8042.nopnp=1".

[Po-Hsu Lin (cypressyew)]

Marked as Incomplete as per request in comment #3, please change it back to Confirmed after testing.
Thanks

[Sion Hughes (sionwhughes)]

Similar issue here on ThinkBook 15 IML, running 18.04.

Tried booting with kernel parameter "i8042.nopnp=1" but made no difference.

[AaronMa (mapengyu)]

Could you try to upgrade BIOS?

If it is still not working please upload the results of "sudo acpidump" and dmesg.

[Sion Hughes (sionwhughes)]

There's no BIOS update on Lenovo's site, only a comment that it has been pulled.

'sudo acpidump' output attached.

[Barbara (barbara-u1)]

Same issue on ThinkBook 14 IML, running Ubuntu 18.04.
A quick test with Manjaro 18.1.3 showed the same issue.

[alexey boltynov (djbolya)]

The same issue on the ThinkBook 15 IML, running 18.04.
Also, there are another issue with finger login, I can`t use it.

[Daniel Frith (dfrith)]

hello, also having this problem with the ThinkBook 15.

The touchpad seems to be of type "ELAN062F". I see this is also the same as listed in OP's udevdb.

It seems that this could be the fix, since the ID "ELAN062F" is not present in the whitelist in "include/linux/input/elan-i2c-ids.h":
https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/12/1/179
?

Can anyone confirm if this is correct? And, is there any easy way to enable this without recompiling the kernel?

[You-Sheng Yang (vicamo)]

Can you paste the output of `ls -al /sys/bus/i2c/devices/*/` (with the tailing '/') and `ls /sys/bus/acpi/devices`. If there is an I2C device for it, then it should be listed.

[Nikolai Kostrigin (realnickel)]

Managed to get the touchpad operate on 15-IML applying the following:

Initially touchpad didn't operate at all under Linux.

0) UEFI firmware update to CJCN24WW revision (https://pcsupport.lenovo.com/ru/ru/products/laptops-and-netbooks/thinkbook-series/thinkbook-15-iml/downloads/driver-list/component?name=BIOS)

Result: touch pad becomes operational, but no extra functions (multi-touch scrolling, etc) available.

1) Kernel 5.4.15 + patch (https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/12/1/179)

Result: no change, as elan_i2c driver doesn't detect the device and is not loaded

2) ACPI DSDT table patching (renaming XXXX0000 -> ELAN062F), https://github.com/realnickel/lenovo_thinkbook_iml15_touchpad_acpi_fix/commit/de0ca637f7d8de2164c787801b4af9d4ff586d67

Result: elan_i2c driver detects the hardware, full functional.

[Martina (cantappa)]

I followed the steps in the comment of Nikolai and got the touchpad of my 14-IML completely working (including multi-touch, scrolling,...) on Ubuntu 19.10.
Thanks for your help!

[Prashant Warrier (ghosthawkzero)]

Can you please share the steps that I need to follow to patch the ACPI DSDT table?

[Martina (cantappa)]

This is how I got the DSDT ACPI table patched and installed:

1. Disassemple the current dsdt ACPI table (see [1]):
```
mkdir -p /tmp/acpitables
cd /tmp/acpitables
sudo acpidump > acpidump.out
acpixtract -a acpidump.out
iasl -d dsdt.dat
```
In my case the output dsdt.dsl file contained some invalid error output lines at the very beginning which I just removed. Otherwise, the compiling in step 4 results in errors.

3. Apply this patch to dsdt.dsl (see [2]):
```
- Name (_HID, "XXXX0000") // _HID: Hardware ID
+ Name (_HID, "ELAN062F") // _HID: Hardware ID
```

4. Create an assembler source file out of the patched dsdt.dsl:
```
iasl -sa dsdt.dsl
```

5. Create a CPIO archive to be loaded by the bootloader (see [3]):
```
mkdir -p kernel/firmware/acpi
cp dsdt.aml ssdt1.aml kernel/firmware/acpi
find kernel | cpio -H newc --create > acpi_override
sudo cp acpi_override /boot
```

6. Install the patched dsdt file (see [4]):
```
cpio --extract < ./acpi_override
cp kernel/firmware/acpi/dsdt.aml /boot/fixed_dsdt.aml
# Create or update /boot/grub/custom.cfg to contain
acpi /fixed_dsdt.aml
```

[Nikolai Kostrigin (realnickel)]

Although I'm using OS ALT but I performed pretty much similar steps to patch the ACPI DSDT table.

> In my case the output dsdt.dsl file contained some invalid error output lines [...]

I also got multiple error messages which I commented for compile to succeed

/*
 *Firmware Error (ACPI): Could not resolve symbol [^GFX0.CLID], AE_NOT_FOUND (20190509/dswload-496)
 *Firmware Error (ACPI): Could not resolve symbol [^^PEG0.PEGP.DD1F], AE_NOT_FOUND (20190509/dswload-496)

 */

> # Create or update /boot/grub/custom.cfg to contain
> acpi /fixed_dsdt.aml

In my case I used initrdefi grub command to overlay ACPI table:
initrdefi /boot/acpi_override /boot/initrd.img

[duschata (t-tom)]

I followed all steps Martina (cantappa) described. But I got this warning:

cpio --extract < ./acpi_override
cpio: kernel/firmware/acpi/dsdt.aml not created: newer or same age version exists
535 blocks

Shure that all steps are explained?

[Jastria Rahmat (ijash)]

I followed all steps Martina (cantappa) and "Apply this patch to dsdt.dsl". didn't explain on how to apply the patch. is it download the github file and replace the dsdt.dsl or add line or something, or replace XXXX0000 to ELAN062F?? because i cant find any XXXX0000 on generated dsdt.dsl.

also while doing `cp dsdt.aml ssdt1.aml kernel/firmware/acpi` ssdt1.aml was not found.
please elaborate..

[duschata (t-tom)]

@Jastria Rahmat (ijash) have you updated the firmware ( UEFI firmware update to CJCN24WW [2])

type

> xinput

is the XXXX0000 device shown there?

[Teerth Sankesara (tsankesara)]

Install Windows Then download lastest BIOS and Firmware, install them.
Install your Ubuntu and Done.. !

[ChavTha Chau (chavtha)]

@Teerth Sankesara (tsankesara), Is it fully functional, including multi-touch, double finger scrolling?

[Teerth Sankesara (tsankesara)]

@ChavTha Chau (chavtha)
nope, multi-touch zoom and finger scrolling is not working, but double touch is working. and hopefully, someone will release an applicable patch soon for all features..

[Nikolai Kostrigin (realnickel)]

I informed Lenovo support of the discussed issue on Feb,04 2020.
Since then I discovered an update [1] (CJCN25WW), but it still doesn't solve the issue.

It's changelog said:

"Summary of changes
==================
General Information:

CJCN25WW:
1. Update EC to CJEC27WW
2. Lenovo diagnostic of NOVO menu (04.11.000)
3. Intel release 2019 '2nd Security
4. BIOS initialize time (S3 resume)
5. Update thermal function for dGPU DPM"

Today, Mar,02 2020 one more BIOS update (CJCN26WW) [2] appeared on Lenovo's web site with a change log saying:

"Summary of changes
==================
General Information:

CJCN26WW:
1. Update EC to CJEC28WW"

Guess there is still no change to ACPI table, but didn't have a chance to try it myself yet.

[Teerth Sankesara (tsankesara)]

@Nikolai Kostrigin (realnickel)
have you updated Firmware, the firmware update is the solution, not BIOS update.

Try them and you'll be done.

[ChavTha Chau (chavtha)]

The touchpad is fully functional after updated to BIOS CJCN26WW. Tap to click works, two-finger scrolling and two-finger right click also works.

[Nikolai Kostrigin (realnickel)]

@ChavTha Chau (chavtha),

thank you for information. I confirm: BIOS update CJCN26WW solves the issue.
Actual vendor change to ACPI table is:

- Name (_HID, "XXXX0000") // _HID: Hardware ID
+ Name (_HID, "ELAN0632") // _HID: Hardware ID

[pavelcheto (pavelcheto)]

Hello,

I have the same problem. My laptop is Thinkbook 14 IML and I installed BIOS cjcn26ww and FIRMWARE cjme01ww. The issue is not fixed for me. My laptop uses Synaptics touchpad, not ELAN. I checked my dsdt.dat file. There is no line Name (_HID, "XXXX0000") // _HID: Hardware ID. The lines for ELAN0632 and ELAN062F are already there. There is also a line for a SYNA device but I guess is not the correct model number.

[pavelcheto (pavelcheto)]

I checked in Windows and the device is SYNA2B60. This ID is present in dsdt.dat.

[Nikolai Kostrigin (realnickel)]

@pavelcheto (pavelcheto),
does you touchpad operate in basic mode (like a mouse, without two-finger-scrolling and other extended functions) ?

Would you mind sharing the output of at least:
dmesg
cat /proc/bus/input/devices
lsmod

[Nikolai Kostrigin (realnickel)]

...and, by the way, which kernel version do you run?

[pavelcheto (pavelcheto)]

My touchpad does not work at all. I have no functionality. It works fine under MS Windows.

Hi pavelcheto
Could you remove i8042.nopnp in cmdline and try again?

Please upload dmesg too.

[Nikolai Kostrigin (realnickel)]

Somehow you've got two modules to be loaded simultaneously:

elan_i2c 40960 0
[...]
synaptics_i2c 20480 0

dmesg mentions ELAN0632:

[ 9.706424] i2c_hid i2c-ELAN0632:00: i2c-ELAN0632:00 supply vdd not found, using dummy regulator
[ 9.706437] i2c_hid i2c-ELAN0632:00: i2c-ELAN0632:00 supply vddl not found, using dummy regulator

but I didn't find SYNA2B60

It is not relevant to the bug, but your laptop also has one more ELAN device on USB bus (fingerprint sensor)

[ 1.492202] usb 1-5: new full-speed USB device number 2 using xhci_hcd

cat /sys/bus/i2c/devices/*/name
ls /sys/bus/i2c/devices/*

Could you also check VID/PID pair for your touchpad in Windows to check whether it is supported by the kernel you are using?

You may want to build latest stable or even mainline kernel for test purposes...

[Nikolai Kostrigin (realnickel)]

Following logs show that your Ubuntu definitely thinks your laptop is equipped with an ELAN touchpad (contrary to Windows opinion):

---------------------------------------------------------------------

cat /sys/bus/acpi/devices/{ELAN,SYNA,CRQ}*/modalias
acpi:ELAN0632:PNP0C50:

--------------------------------------------------------------------

cat /sys/bus/i2c/devices/*/name

ELAN0632:00
----------------------------------------------------

cat /sys/bus/acpi/devices/{ELAN,SYNA,CRQ}*/status
0
15 - the only active state device is ELAN0632
0
0

Would you try blacklist drivers one-by-one:
1) blacklist elan_i2c
then check if this helps (somehow synaptics_i2c is triggered, so may be it is just interfered by elan)
2) quit blacklisting elan_i2c
   blacklist synaptics_i2c
check either...

Hi, thank you guys for the thread and Kai for the kernel update.

I am currently running Linux 5.9.0-rc4+ I downloaded from https://people.canonical.com/~khfeng/lp1853277-final/

The touchpad is now working great, but my display is kinda glitchy and laggy. And from what I noticed, it is because of the NVIDIA graphic card is not working normally.
From the lshw -C display output we can see that the NVIDIA graphic card is UNCLAIMED.

Does anyone have suggestions for the workaround? Thank you.

NB:
I attached two images comparing the one running 5.9.0-rc4+ kernel and 5.4.0-42-generic.

Hey Guys today i had received my lenovo think book 14 iml and on linux touch pad is not working and even not getting detected please help me i had read previous comments but i got nothing how to do can any one please guide me in a simpler way will be very thankfull.

[Dmitry Sekushin (sekushin)]

Gaurav, for starters install the Kai's patched kernel from here: https://people.canonical.com/~khfeng/lp1853277-final/

...and report if your touchpad works with it.

[Gaurav Baghel (gauravbaghel1010)]

@Dmitry i installed the kernel but nothing changed here.
what should i try now?

[Hans de Goede (j-w-r-degoede)]

Gaurav, did you reboot into the patched kernel?

And what is the output of "uname -r" in a terminal (after rebooting), does that show that you are running the patched kernel now?

[Gaurav Baghel (gauravbaghel1010)]

yes i did reboot i tried installing linux-image-5.9.0-rc4+_5.9.0-rc4+-4_amd64.deb and now it is working like charm i wanted to know if there will be any update in kernal then what patch or how should i do that ??

BTW thanks to all u guys thankyou very very much

[Jekyll (jekyllsmagic)]

Thank you Kai-Heng Feng - you're awesome.

[Reg Clucas (regub)]

What is the scope of the fix? I assume of course that it means the touchpad is now usable, but does it also enable the option for turning off "tap to click" in Ubuntu Settings? I ask because this option is not available in the Windows 10 installation that was preinstalled on my Thinkbook 15 IIL.

[pehem (pehem-1)]

Hi,

My configuration : LENOVO Yoga Slim 7 15IIL05 / secure boot disabled / Linux Mint 20
I confirm that my touchpad is now working thanks to linux-image-5.9.0-rc4+_5.9.0-rc4+-1_amd64.deb

A huge thank you !

Guys, I have a problem (new - clear ubuntu 20.04, Thinkbook 14)

I installed that "linux-image-5.9.0-rc4+_5.9.0-rc4+-1_amd64.deb" after restarting Ubuntu (froze, and need to use power button) :

Case 1:

clicked power button twice (shut down and start)

error cant find command 'humatch'
error: Command Failed,
{6x}
error: You need to load the kernel first.

...

There is nothing to do so:
Case 2: clicked power button twice again -> after start there is a black page, nothing... nice

step Case 3: clicked power button twice -> Ubuntu started but before start there are lost of errors:
image of monitor uploaded here: https://ibb.co/jZ72N9y

Ubuntu started. After Restart or Power off there is Case 1...

Btw while installing that hack there was a warning: possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/rtl_nic/rtl8125b-2.fw for module r8169

Secure boot is off in bios... (I dont know what is it :) I am lame)

Thanks for help

I can confirm that installing the 5.8.14 kernel works on the Thinkbook 14.

Find the mailine kernels here:

Download these files:

Copy them all to an empty folder and run:

sudo dpkg -i *.deb

After installation, reboot & enjoy!
-Thanks all

Hi Guys,

But it still not working for me.

I am a Ubuntu User and Stuck with Windows from Last 6 months.

Please help me in running ubuntu with touchpad.

I have installed Ubuntu 20.04 using keyboard but it still not working for me.

Can someone answer my below questions please.
1. Which version of BIOS should I have? I am having cjcn29ww installed.
2. Which Ubuntu version should I install? I am having Ubuntu 20.04 currently but touchpad is not functional.
3. If there is need to install custom kernel? if "Yes" then which one?

Please let me know any other steps if I am missing anything.

Regards

1. I have VIOS update DJCN15WW (laptop model 14-IIL)
2. Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS
