When I first installed Ubuntu today the touchpad was working perfectly, gestures for changing between desktops was working as was inertial scrolling. After updating the BIOS from 3.03 (or possibly 3.02, I can’t quite remember) to 3.05 the gestures and inertial scrolling do not work at all. Other touchpad functions such as two finger right click, 3 finger middle click, and scrolling work (though scrolling isn’t inertial in applications such as Firefox).
libinput is installed and reporting 1.26.2 and the /usr/share/libinput/50-system-framework.quirks file is there and appears to match what others have posted.
Using the libinput debug-gui I see that the software does see three and four finger movements, so I believe the hardware is functioning normally.
As a last-ditched effort I tried using a bootable USB stick with Ubuntu 24.0.4.2 to try and see if the gestures and inertial scrolling work there. They do not, which really seems to indicate a firmware issue as it was working just fine earlier in the day.
I also tried reinstalling the firmware using sudo fwupdmgr reinstall, but this did not help.
Is there anybody else who has seen a similar issue? Any other steps others suggest to try?
Appreciate any and all help.
