Sleep and Touchpad Not Responding?

Do you mean PS2 emulation? It was set on auto; I’ll try disabling it and seeing if it helps.

@Kieran_Levin I’ve disabled touchpad emulation, and I’m seeing a different issue now - the touchpad now responds, but the multi-finger usage is all off - i.e. scrolling which usually is two-finger is now three-finger, switching workspaces which is three-finger is now four-finger, etc. After a couple of minutes, it goes back to normal. Maybe a weird state the computer went to sleep in, or resumed from?

I’ll see if I can reproduce any other weird aspects. No complete lockup yet, and no relevant logs.

I have the same issue on Ubuntu 21.04 with 5.11.

I’ve just set the default memory sleep to deep, though the issue was happening with the s2idle on suspend as well. In another thread or stackexchange there’s a mention that sleeping again and re-waking, in my case closing and opening the lid again, will fix it.

Here’s some output from preparing to enter sleep with the touchpad not working upon wake:

When the system wakes from the first sleep, the cursor will move at a far faster rate than it normally does, and it will not click or scroll. Sleeping again will restore the cursor speed, scrolling, and clicking.

Here’s an Arch forum mentioning the same i2c timeouts and touchpad impact - Touchpad suddenly stops working. Only reboot/suspend unfreezes it. / Kernel & Hardware / Arch Linux Forums

Most actual bugs I see in kernel development mailings are in reference to the 4.9-4.11 kernel.

I’m also experiencing touchpad after suspend in Ubuntu 21.04. Will post again if I make progress.

I’ve got a little bit more that may be helpful in debugging this. I have the same problem on Arch Linux. I did not follow the guide from OP but I setup a swap partition and was resuming from hibernate essentially. After suspending and resuming again the touchpad came back on.

Here is some output from journalctl -f

The important parts seem to me to be that the touchpad failed to set a report to device and power setting.

I’ll keep looking too to find a solution.

I can confirm that Ubuntu 21.04 is suffering from this. My guess is that a firmware update will be needed to fix this. Framework has one in the works so guess we’ll see.

another Arch 5.13.13 here seeing similar behavior. After what I haven’t determined is either a “sleep” versus a “hibernation”, I have a wonky trackpad (pointer tracks way too fast, gestures are disabled) as if it is falling back to a less-featured driver. Problem goes away after a reboot.

Void Linux user here reporting the same issue on 5.13.13_1, re-closing and opening the lid will fix the issue most times.

Using Fedora 34, it’s the exact same situation for me.

Same. It seems like going back into hibernate and waking up restarts the touchpad drivers?

I haven’t had this issue after disabling PS/2 mouse emulation in the bios per @Kieran_Levin 's suggestion

Having the same issue here @illeatmyhat, also Fedora 34 - have you tried disabling PS/2 mouse emulation like @ant? That’s the next thing I’m going to try.

Actually I did disable it and don’t recall any problems ever since.

I’m having a similar problem, although the touchpad also glitches out randomly from time to time. What I see is some seemingly random combination of these symptoms:

  • clicks stop being registered
  • it starts to register movements when I am typing but not touching
  • the trackpad, can’t scroll
  • mouse can’t move at all

I tried /sbin/rmmod i2c_hid && /sbin/modprobe i2c_hid at one point when the mouse was completely unresponsive, following advice here:

and, curiously, it brought back mouse movement but not clicking or scrolling.

Going to try disabling PS/2 mouse emulation now and see if that helps

Update: it seems that disabling PS/2 mouse emulation in BIOS fixed the problem.

Is this worth putting in the “known issues” sticky? My trackpad didn’t register clicks at all at first, and seeing that it could be fixed by pressing down hard on it in the sticky was very helpful!

I’ve had intermittent issues with the touchpad going wonky after I exit deep sleep. The cursor moves fast, and the alt-clicks and scroll don’t function. I found a few ancient Ubuntu threads (circa 2013) that do the following - and it fixes the touchpad issue.

sudo rmmod hid_multitouch
sudo modprobe hid_multitouch

Note this needs to be done every time the issue occurs (or have a script do it for you).

@Tim_Troxler Did you read the post above yours? Disable PS/2 emulation in the UEFI settings and the issue should go away.

Yup! Thanks for checking. I also read where the OP said it didn’t work for them, and several posts about an i2c module. In my experience its the hid_multitouch module that needs reloaded, not the i2c.

I’m still having this issue even after disabling PS/2 emulation.

I am also still having this issue even after disabling PS/2 emulation. (Running Windows 11)

Can confirm that doing sudo rmmod hid_multitouch && sudo modprobe hid-multitouch works. Can we get a Framework employee to respond?
