Touchpad is not being detected by Ubuntu on Lenovo IdeaPad S145-15IIL

[Maciej Jedliński]

Laptop is new, I bought it yesterday. I'm dual-booting Windows 10 and Ubuntu 20.04. Touchpad works on Windows.

The touchpad does not show up in xinput --list and in the devices (included in the attachment). Its manufacturer is Elantech, at least I suppose it is, based on an output from acpidump which has shown:

27AD0: 54 59 01 70 0D 45 4C 41 4E 30 36 33 33 00 5F 48 TY.p.ELAN0633._H

on one line. If it is in fact my touchpad and its ID is 0633, then it is not included in elan_i2c_core.c file in my ubuntu kernel source (IDs end at 0632). I tried to modify it myself and compile a new, custom kernel, but I am quite new to linux so I failed.

Please update BIOS.

[IRFAN (irfanhrt)]

Bios is updated. But it is not solving the problem.

[IRFAN (irfanhrt)]

Can anybody help me with try istalling acpi drivers?

[Alex Hung (alexhung)]

The id ELAN0633 has been added since Ubuntu-5.4.0-34.38. Please update kernel (sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y) and verify whether the touchpad works.

[Alex Hung (alexhung)]

Hui Wang also provided some workaround for touchpad at LP:1899258. If kernel updates do not fix touchpad problem, you can also try the kernel parameters.

[Kai-Heng Feng (kaihengfeng)]

Please test latest mainline kernel:
https://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v5.10-rc2/amd64/

[Kai-Heng Feng (kaihengfeng)]

The touchpad requires LPSS to work...

[Maciej Jedliński (majed710)]

Sorry for the long inactivity. I went back to Windows because I really needed that touchpad to work. I tried the solution from the bug report mentioned by Alex Hung.

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT = 'i80242.nopnp=1 pci=nocrs quiet splash'

Worked perfectly.

[IRFAN (irfanhrt)]

#7 worked for me. thanks
