Touchscreen stops working after sleep

Framework Laptop 12 Linux
1

Hi everybody, since the fedora 43 update, the touchscreen stops working after going to sleep when I’ve used the stylus beforehand.

This does not affect the touchpad or the stylus, both of them work fine. Rebooting or logging out and back in fixes the issue.

Any ideas what causes this or how I could investigate this more?

Thanks!

I can confirm, the touchscreen is not responsive after it goes to sleep, even without using the stylus. I have to restart the machine to get the functionality back.

I want to believe that the touchscreen control turns off to conserve battery, but something either in the firmware or the systemd doesn’t turn it back on properly when waking up.

Has anyone noticed this issue outside of Fedora?

I’ve been facing the same problem with no stylus involved. Looks like something broke on 43.

Gnome 49 on Arch, similar issues. The stylus also degrades in quality over time after each reboot. Starts working nearly perfectly when I reboot my computer, and slowly starts getting more buggy over time. I think this has something to do with the touchscreen though, as the touchscreen also usually stops working in a similar way, along with the pen.

I have the same issue on Fedora 43 with GNOME 49 (Linux 6.17.11-300.fc43.x86_64)

Interestingly, using libinput , I can see that touch events are still recorded:
libinput record /dev/input/event8 shows all events when using the touchscreen. So there must be something that prevents those events being routed to the shell.

This seems similar to my issue, though I don’t think the computer went to sleep. I was working in an art program through Bottles, so was using the stylus. After a while, I went to select something on my taskbar with my finger, but no reaction. Thought it might be a tablet mode issue, but it persists after flipping back to normal laptop mode. Stylus and touchpad work normally.

Essentially same specs as the original post, but I use KDE. Has anyone sent a bug report to the Fedora team yet?
