[libinput] Prevent Touchpad from disabling on lid close.

Hello! First time here; hopefully this is *enough* information. My laptop has trouble with the Touchpad being disabled for a while after the lid closes.

- After it disables, it will always appear with libinput list-devices and in KDE's settings.
- Reboot doesn't fix.
- Using other distributions (in live CD) doesn't work.
- Pressing toggle touchpad will work after a few seconds to hours to get it working.

It seems like a firmware problem or something that I can't really deal with. I think that disabling libinput's behavior of stopping the touchpad could be a good remedy, but I haven't figured out how. I do not want to disable all lid events.

journalctl:

Dec 14 07:10:13 tandy-archlinux kwin_wayland[1454]: kwin_libinput: Libinput: event10 - lid: suspending touchpad
Dec 14 07:10:17 tandy-archlinux kwin_wayland[1454]: kwin_libinput: Libinput: event10 - lid: resume touchpad

it always says this, but sometimes the touchpad just never resumes.

Re: [libinput] Prevent Touchpad from disabling on lid close.

You could try a libinput quirk for the device in question that marks the AttrLidSwitchReliability=unreliable : https://wayland.freedesktop.org/libinpu … uirks.html

Re: [libinput] Prevent Touchpad from disabling on lid close.

Hey! Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately, this doesn't work, is this the correct syntax for it?

cat /etc/libinput/local-overrides.quirks:

[Minisforum V3 volume keys]
MatchName=AT Translated Set 2 keyboard
MatchDMIModalias=dmi:*svnMicroComputer(HK)TechLimited:pnV3:*
ModelTabletModeNoSuspend=1

[Touchpad Lid Close]
MatchName=USB Keyboard Touchpad
AttrLidSwitchReliability=unreliable

Re: [libinput] Prevent Touchpad from disabling on lid close.

should be™ but I'm also not convinced this is your underlying issue. FWIW you can check whether a quirk is correct for a given device by running

libinput quirk list /dev/input/eventX

where X is the devnum of the in question. I'm also not sure whether you have to apply the quirk to the touchpad or to the lid switch sensor, I'd say the latter makes more sense.

It applied, but nothing changed -- same with trying to do it on the lid.

Re: [libinput] Prevent Touchpad from disabling on lid close.

I'd also have had low hopes of this fixing things. This is most likely a kernel bug, can you reproduce on LTS? and generally to see what is initialized, posting a full journal reflecting the issue

sudo journalctl -b | curl -F 'file=@-' 0x0.st

and post the link.

Re: [libinput] Prevent Touchpad from disabling on lid close.

I'll switch to lts kernel in a little bit; here's the file http://0x0.st/XF3s.txt
