| Summary | 0001123: No trackpad in kernel 5.13 | ||||
| Description | I have a Dell Latitude laptop. Since kernel 5.13 (and I think even 5.12), I do no get my synaptics trackpad or wacom touchscreen with the new kernel. I have done some digging and think it may be this issue https://forum.manjaro.org/t/config-i2c-hid-acpi-is-missing-from-the-linux-5-12-config/55951 > The I2C HID driver has been split up, please enable CONFIG_I2C_HID_ACPI (as a module, preferably) otherwise I2C HID devices (mostly touchpads/touchscreens) won’t function at all. My workaround is to use a working mouse | ||||

Thank you for your report. I have taken a look at the master configuration files for kernel-ml, for both el7 and el8. Interestingly, the only reference to CONFIG_I2C_HID_ACPI is in those configuration files for -5.13.X and -5.14.Y as "CONFIG_I2C_HID_ACPI is not set". [kernels]$ grep -r 'CONFIG_I2C_HID_ACPI' * | sort el7/config-5.13/config-5.13.0-x86_64:# CONFIG_I2C_HID_ACPI is not set el7/config-5.13/config-5.13.1-x86_64:# CONFIG_I2C_HID_ACPI is not set el7/config-5.13/config-5.13.2-x86_64:# CONFIG_I2C_HID_ACPI is not set el7/config-5.13/config-5.13.3-x86_64:# CONFIG_I2C_HID_ACPI is not set el7/config-5.13/config-5.13.4-x86_64:# CONFIG_I2C_HID_ACPI is not set el7/config-5.13/config-5.13.5-x86_64:# CONFIG_I2C_HID_ACPI is not set el7/config-5.14/config-5.14.0-x86_64:# CONFIG_I2C_HID_ACPI is not set el8/config-5.13/config-5.13.0-x86_64:# CONFIG_I2C_HID_ACPI is not set el8/config-5.13/config-5.13.1-x86_64:# CONFIG_I2C_HID_ACPI is not set el8/config-5.13/config-5.13.2-x86_64:# CONFIG_I2C_HID_ACPI is not set el8/config-5.13/config-5.13.3-x86_64:# CONFIG_I2C_HID_ACPI is not set el8/config-5.13/config-5.13.4-x86_64:# CONFIG_I2C_HID_ACPI is not set el8/config-5.13/config-5.13.5-x86_64:# CONFIG_I2C_HID_ACPI is not set el8/config-5.14/config-5.14.0-x86_64:# CONFIG_I2C_HID_ACPI is not set [kernels]$ I shall investigate with the intention to enable that option for both (el7 & el8) kernel-ml package sets. |

I have built the kernel-ml-5.14.0-0.rc3.el7.elrepo package set with the CONFIG_I2C_HID_ACPI=m option set. It may be downloaded from -- https://elrepo.org/people/ajb/devel/kernel-ml/el7/x86_64/RPMS/ When convenient, please test and report your findings. If that configuration option is proved to resolve the problem, I shall then queue that configuration update for the next builds of kernel-ml, both el7 and el8. |

I have that kernel build and can confirm that the trackpad and touch screen are now both working! |

Excellent. Thank you for testing. The configuration adjustment will be applied to the next build of the kernel-ml package set (for both el7 & el8) which should be occurring sometime tomorrow. (Wednesday, 28th July 2021.) |

With the recent release of the kernel-ml-5.13.6-el{7|8}.elrepo package sets [1][2] this configuration adjustment has been fulfilled. Now closing as "resolved/fixed".
