Touchpad bug affecting several laptops

Touchpad bug affecting several laptops

[Andrea Ippolito]

Hello i2c,

several users are reporting touchpad issues on various models of DELL
and Asus laptops.

I have reported an issue here:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=214597

But it seems like it has not been inspected by any i2c expert yet,
hence many users see their Linux experience on a laptop completely
spoiled for months now.

I unfortunately lack the knowledge and skills to investigate this
myself, so all I can do is kindly bring this to your attention.

Although this report only has a bunch of commenters, many more
affected users are active on the original issue I reported on the
libinput project (linked in my initial comment), so for sure whoever
is willing to investigate this, can count on a numerous, motivated
user base for extra info, logs and whatever could be useful for
reproducing it and testing fixes.

Thanks a lot in advance and have a nice day everyone.

It is still like Hans mentioned the last time you reported it:

https://lore.kernel.org/r/70cbe360-6385-2536-32bd-ae803517d2b2@redhat.com

It is complicated and someone needs to tackle it. I have hopes that
Miroslav Bendik is that brave hero because his issue sounds similar to
the one you have:

https://lore.kernel.org/r/CAPoEpV0ZSidL6aMXvB6LN1uS-3CUHS4ggT8RwFgmkzzCiYJ-XQ@mail.gmail.com

Let's hope for the best there!

Kind regards,

   Wolfram
