[i2c_hid_acpi Bug] Touchpad not detected by libinput since 6.8

Hello,

I just performed a system update and suddenly my touchpad is no longer recognized by Libinput. I own a second-generation ThinkPad Z13. The trackpoint is now serving as a temporary solution. Does anyone know what to do?

"sudo libinput list-devices | grep Device" found alot but not my touchpad anymore.

"journal -b -p err" says:

The first line shows my touchpad ... :-/

The Bug comes with Linux 6.8. On the LTS Kernel everything is fine.

BAD SOLUTION:

Reload the Driver manually until the Trackpad works again.
In my case:

sudo modprobe --remove i2c_hid_acpi 
sudo modprobe i2c_hid_acpi

Re: [i2c_hid_acpi Bug] Touchpad not detected by libinput since 6.8

You can do following:

1) Go back to the LTS Kernel
2) Reload the Driver manually until the Trackpad works again.

In my case:

sudo modprobe --remove i2c_hid_acpi 
sudo modprobe i2c_hid_acpi   

Bug still exist in Linux 6.8.5.

Is the issue still present in linux-mainline 6.9-rc4? Also available prebuilt from miffe.  If so have you considered bisecting between 6.7 and 6.8?  Is there an upstream bug report for the issue?

Yes, it is present on 6.9-rc4, too. :-(

I don't know.

The bug is reported by some ohters.

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2271136

And it is descripted on the Arch Wiki too.

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Lenovo … _Z16_Gen_2

The Z16 Gen2 has the same issue like the Z13 Gen2.

Have you tried the fix from the report you linked? I built 6.8.7-arch1-1 with it applied if it helps:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-nQ1qT … sp=sharing linux-6.8.7.arch1-1.1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst
