Touchpad doesn't work under Xubuntu 24.04

Framework Laptop 16 Linux

Touchpad is completely unresponsive.

However, it worked during the installation process. Which is very odd.

Any ideas?

Could you plug in a mouse and check the mouse settings? Maybe it disabled it for some reason?

Running Xubuntu 24 on my lenovo laptop and touchpad works fine. I have run 22 on a framework 13 without issue.

Probably related to the problem introduced in some of the more recent kernels. Try rolling back to an earlier kernel.

I’m having a similar issue with KaOS (Arch) but it is only an issue on reboots (warm starts) and a shutdown then start works.

I did this and the touchpad started working. Then shortly after stopped again (er, wasn’t really paying attention to what I did, I was concentrating on getting DP ALT over usb-c to work, which it did after reordering some expansion slots.)

Since then I tried:

  • Ubuntu 22.04 (worked)
  • Xubuntu 24.04 (a second fresh install – busted still, though the installers live cd still worked)
  • Ubuntu 24.04 (worked)

When it was broken, there were missing pointer devices under xubuntu as listed by xinput listWhen it works there are two “PIXA3854” devices.
