Hi, I got a Lenovo laptop last year for college and have been using windows 10 on it, but recently I have been interested in Linux, specifically Pop OS!. At first I was going to download Ubuntu, I got it ready on the usb stick and as soon as I started installing I noticed that my touchpad wasn't working, I plugged in a external USB mouse thinking it might just be a missing driver etc, but when I loaded in it wasn't even listed in xinput/ xinput list. At this stage I was quite busy and didn't have time to look into it. Few months later I recently started up my laptop and decided to put Pop OS thinking that it might go, but it didn't. When it comes to Linux I am still very new so any tips will be grateful I went through the installation with a external Mouse, then started troubleshooting. Did: xinput : Nothing related to touchpad came up. Did: cat /proc/bus/input/devices : Nothing related to touchpad appeared, however a device called i2c-ELAN0001:00/input/input4 what their with the name "Elan Touchscreen" this seemed strange as this isn't a touchscreen laptop. Did some searching and discovered that doing ctrl+alt+F3 enters a Virtual Terminal, I logged in and touched my touchpad: first touch: elants_i2c i2c-ELAN0001:00: unknown packet 0e 00 04 03 When I let go: elants_i2c i2c-ELAN0001:00: unknown packet 0e 00 04 01 Meaning when I touch it, its 03 and when I let go it is 01. Also that touchscreen ELAN0001 = Touchpad touch (ELAN0001). So I guess this tells us that it can detect it, put something is missing e.g. Driver is just bad optimisation with the kernel. The attempted fixes I have done: Tried installing/updated Elan Drivers as well as various other drivers that could of helped I looked into the kernel itself assuming that at this point the kernel has no idea what to do with these drivers and the touchpad "touchscreen". -Tried to "build my own" kernel following some guides, got kinda far but certain steps weren't working and since I don't have a vast knowledge I don't know what to do. I have also noticed that this seems to happen to mostly Lenovo products, so something with the way Lenovo makes their Touchpad Drivers doesn't work with the Linux kernel? I don't have much knowledge with Linux and would really appreciate some help with this, if you need anymore information just ask. Sorry if I have said something dumb etc. -
Hey community, I don't think that not working Back and Forth touchpad gestures in File Explorer in Windows could be considered as a bug - well, it never actually worked - but still it bothers me everyday. Is there any 3rd-party tool maybe that will make 2-finger swipes work in File Explorer in a same way they work in any browser - moving back and forth through history, basically mimicking what ALT+arrow does ? Thanks. -
Im fairly certain my issue is hardware related. My rightclick is not working in bios, windows or any other OS ive tried. the e7440 has 2 mouse buttons, near the keyboard and on the touchpad. And none of the rightclicks work. Do i need to replace the whole touchpad assembly, or can i replace both buttons? Or is there no way of actually knowing if the touchpad pcb is broken, or if its just both button pcbs. -
Hi, Laptop: HP pavilion 15 gaming notebook ak008tx Touchpad: Synaptics TouchPad Driver- 19.3.31.31 Rev.A Windows 10: 21H1 19043.906 I never experienced any issues with my laptops track pad before this. yesterday night, i received a notification saying that an update requires restart... so i did. Once the laptop booted up i could not see any cursor on the screen and the trackpad seemed to not work. Connecting an external mouse would immediately bring back the cursor. I tried to uninstall and reinstall the driver using device manager and windows update. sometimes the trackpad would start to work but as soon as i reboot it stops working again. This is inconsistent and it doesnt always start to work again after fresh driver install. I tried with a clean installation of windows but that still doesnt seem to fix it. It doesn't work even when im booted using the installation USB. however sometimes it randomly starts to work when i reinstall drivers or rollback drivers. On one such occasion i decided not to restart and it worked well until i rebooted about an hour in. During this time the 2-finger swipe and all those features dont work but i find that the latest synaptics driver show up in device manager. also tried to reset defaults in bios and booting in safe mode. I thought that a fresh windows installation would fix any troubles and Im out of ideas. Please help.

I decided to put Ubuntu on to an old HP Pavilion 11 x360 2-in-1 laptop, and the touchpad and keyboard worked fine before I did the official installation. Afterwards, only the touchscreen worked and the keyboard and touchpad were not responsive. the keyboard inputs work in BIOS, so I know it must come down to a Linux kernel/patch for both the touchpad and keyboard. I'm trying to avoid using external devices (except for when I'm fixing this issue of course) so anyone with experience using Linux/Ubuntu that has resources or suggestions how I could solve this issue for this device would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! -
Hi, I have Extensa 2540 Acer laptop and I want to use gestures on touchpad. Unfortunately it doesn't work, I tried to install drivers from acer website, but it says that I don't have compatible hardware (I added DPINST file that was created after installation). On acer page there are two drivers named touchpad (Synaptics or ELANTECH), I tried both with same results. Windows shows that I have the best drivers but they are from 21.06.2006 and they don't give me gestures. I added some pictures of id for the touchpad, it is't in eng but I hope you will know what the information is about. I have no options in windows settings to turn gestures on. I will be glad if you tell me if my set up can run touchpad gestures and if yes how to do it. DPINST.LOG

I have a Lenovo Y50, its really old and keyboard is dirty so weeks ago i ordered a new upper body/case for it which is the palm-rest area with the keyboard and touch-pad which is built in. yesterday the product arrived and i tear my laptop apart and assembled it again on the new body. everything seems to be working such as back-lit, keyboard keys, touch-pad, light indicators. The only problem is the way the touch-pad works. first, the touch-pad on the new body doesn't have gestures, i cant even right click by using two finger click at the same time, i need to press the right side of the touch-pad to right click, and it can only do left/right click and scroll. Secondly , its really slow (as in the dpi is very low) so it requires many slides just to move the cursor from left to right of the screen. So i thought the touch-pad driver doesn't match or something so i thought if i uninstall the current one and scan for hardware changes on device manager then windows will automatically download new drivers for my touch-pad. After i did that the touch-pad is missing from my device manager and i literally cannot use my track-pad at all. its like windows doesn't know i have a touch-pad. and now i cant get it back. there is only HID-compliant mouse in my device manager. Help please.

Hi there I'm writing this hoping you guys can help me get my trackpad/touchpad to work properly. So the deal is for christmas I got an samsung SSD harddisk for my Acer Aspire E1-572, and instead of using their included CD with the file transfer software to transfer my files and OS to the new harddisk, i just installed windows 10 from a USB so I then had a fresh clean new version of windows 10. And it's here the problem begins because instead of getting my previous touchpad driver which was Synaptics touchpad v7.5 on ps/2 port, from when the PC was new and had Windows 8.1, i got some crappy driver which doesn't have the scroll function. Afterwards i've tried to install the newest Synaptics version 19.0.19.1, but it woulden't install..!! I then succeeded in installing Synaptics Elan (sorry can't remember which version), then f*cked something up, so I had to reset the PC and it then installed Elan by it self. Then when I try to remove this driver from programs it says it can't find the module, and I'm stuck having a trackpad which doesn't scroll - and it's driving me crazy.. Please say somebody can help me...

hello, on my laptop, if i use 2 finger scrolling in certain applications, mainly spotify, it scrolls way too fast. i can move my fingers a couple millimeters, and it will scroll through 10-15 songs. this happens in another application, but i can't remember what app it was. my laptop is a lenovo g50-45 and has a ELAN Smart Pad touchpad in it. my OS is Windows 10. also, on ubuntu this issue doesn't happen.

precision Want/Need a precision touchpad for Win10 on DESKTOP
dantesan posted a topic in Peripherals
I know that Synaptics and Elen touchpads don't work for Windows 10 precision gestures. Has anyone figured out a hack or some kind of wrapper? Perhaps some company is making one? Win 10 has been out for two years and we only have precision touchpad on laptops. When do we get this on desktops!? I seem to remember reading something to the effect that Wacom bamboo tablets might do win10 gestures. -
Hi! I recently bought a Asus Zenbook UX310UQK and the touchpad is horrible! It's unresponsive, missing gestures and in general just bad... The laptop comes with some pre-installed app called "Asus Smart Gesture", which isn't any better. The computer also has a driver called Asus precision, it's located under "Human interface devices". Finally the computer has a windows driver called "HID-Compatible mouse". With all my previous laptops I have been able to install Elantech's touchpad driver, which have been working perfectly for me! But I'm not able to install it on my new machine.. I can install the Elan program so it shows in the tab in my touchpad properties, but it doesn't seems to connect to my touchpad at all.. Anybody who has seems this problem before? And is there a solution?

I own an Alienware 14 (2013) I have a series of problems with it. The problems started to appear one after another. I’ll try as much as possible to state the problems in order of occurrence but I don't remember the time gap between each issue. The first issue might have occurred around 2 years ago. I took it to several places to diagnose the issues, but it seems no one here can test it very well. If there is anything missing tell me and I'll respond and edit this post. So here are my problems: 1-whenever I sleep my laptop. It goes to sleep mode successfully. But whenever i wake it up from sleep. The laptop shuts down and starts up again. In event viewer, i get kernel-power event 41 task category(61) eventData BugcheckCode 0 BugcheckParameter1 0x0 BugcheckParameter2 0x0 BugcheckParameter3 0x0 BugcheckParameter4 0x0 sleepInProgress 4 PowerButtonTimestamp 0 BootAppStatus 0 Checkpoint 0 ConnectedStandbyInProgress flase SystemSleepTransitionsToOn 5 CsEntryScenarioInstanceId 0 BugcheckInfoFromEFI true 2-my alienware command center stop responding when i change my laptop led. If i select a color that i want and apply it. A notification appears that it is setting the new color but nothing changes. Also whenever i startup my laptop the led changes randomly 3-sometimes when i start my laptop the touchpad doesn't work and it is also in my luck if i start my laptop and the touchpad works. This problem occurs randomly. 4. Sometimes i have some problems with my intel management engine interface. It says in the device properties that the device it not working probably. This problem also occurs randomly. 5. Sometimes while my laptop is connected with the power. It randomly disconnects and reconnects. This problem occurs rarely I tried fixing the problem by changing the OS to windows 7 and 8 but still the same issues. now im at windows 10 creators update This is my service tag: JNMGXY1 My laptop specs can be found in the link below: http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/4/product-support/servicetag/JNMGXY1/configuration Bios version: A09 OS version: Windows 10 creators update -
Hello All, I am looking to buy a new laptop with a budget of around $1350 and want these specs: i7 quad core (like 6700HQ) 16/32GB RAM 256 GB NVME SSD 1 TB HDD Discrete gpu I have a Costco membership and was looking at http://m.costco.com/ASUS-ROG-GL552VW-Laptop---Intel-Core-i7---4GB-NVIDIA-Graphics---4K-Ultra-HD.product.100307811.html but the trackpad is complete crap (and 960M isn't that impressive). Does anyone have any suggestion about one with a good trackpad (I love the Macs for their trackpads, it's one thing they did right). Anything with a pascal GPU would be great and maybe even a Kaby Lake. Thank You in advance!

Hi, this is about a Razer Blade 14" FHD from 2015. By now, that device would be almost 1.5 yrs old (bought in Singapore). Early September, the backlight and entire keyboard and touchpad stopped working (apart from the power button). After a lot of back and forth, Razer Europe, offered to have me send it in. Initially, Razer (by mistake) wrote me that the display and keyboard was broken. They also quoted me for a new keyboard and new motherboard, ~$1600. After I asked for the reason (they just quoted $1600), they actually requoted after several weeks, saying they would 'only' have to replace the motherboard, ~$1400. Now, I had had a working laptop (apart from the keyboard), basically a fully functional laptop - working just fine and stable gaming system with external keyboard and mouse. And Razer is asking me to pay for their design flaws, a broken keyboard controller ?! This should never have happened, especially not after effectively 1.25 yrs of age. And they cannot repair their own motherboards but have to have a completely new one every single time? WTF After nearly two month without laptop, being asked to pay as much as for a used Razer Blade 14, I am speechless. This is completely unacceptable. # RZC-0148181-00912120 Anyone feel that pain? k

Hello, I just got a razer blade stealth for super cheap because it's trackpad and backspace key aren't working. Everything else works perfect. The trackpad clicks fine, but it doesn't even show up in device manager or anything. It doesn't work at all. Same goes with the keyboard, the whole keyboard lights up (including the backspace key) but the backspace key won't register. I have 2 options. Either fix it, or give it back. Since I got it cheap I'd like to try to make an attempt as I need a laptop for school (kinda broke). Thanks so much to anybody who can help me!

Recently, I've just found out that there's a certain touchpad driver (Elan or Synaptics-based) that can actually turn your crappy original non-Precision drivers to the one with Precision drivers, with no hardware modifications or registry tweaks required. It actually improves the touchpad experience very significantly (at least with the laptops I have in tested) when compared to non-Precision drivers. Note that this would only work when installed manually (through Device Manager). For the laptops with Synaptics touchpad For the laptops with Elan touchpad *EDIT* For the laptops with Elan touchpad (from Microsoft Update Catalog) An example of a laptop (Lenovo IdeaPad Y400 model 20192) with Precision touchpad drivers Sources: - People with Razer Blade - Reddit - How-to-Geek - Windows Central I can't testify whether it would work with all laptops out there with Synaptics or Elan drivers but here are the list of some laptops I tested that works with Precision drivers. I'll try to keep this updated with more devices that I can find and you guys who test it out. Enjoy your "upgraded" touchpad Laptops with Synaptics drivers: - Lenovo IdeaPad Y400 - Dell Venue 11 Pro (7139) - Dell Vostro 5470 - Dell XPS 13 9343 - HP Envy x360 13-y013cl - Acer Aspire V 13 V3-372T-5051 Laptops with Elan drivers: - Samsung Series 3 NP300E4A - Asus X556UB (Originally, Asus Smart Gesture driver based on Elan drivers) - Asus ROG G501JW (Originally, Asus Smart Gesture driver based on Elan drivers)

I have a Lenovo Ideapad 100s. It has a resistive touchpad and there is not gesture built in to the computer for scrolling. I have had other windows laptops with resistive touchpads that have some gesture for scrolling down pages, usually sliding my finger down the right edge of the touchpad (such as the gesture on my old Alienware 14). Is there any way to add a gesture like this to my laptop, maybe through a third party program? I'm not asking for multi finger gestures or anything fancy like that because I know you need a capacitive touchpad for that to work. I just want to assign different actions to different zones of the touchpad essentially.

Hello, I have problem with my Sony vaio sve1513y1esi runing Windows 10. When I press "Fn"+F2 or any next Fsomething it works. But when I press "Fn"+F1, which should turn off my touchpad, it is not working. However my F1 button is working, because when I press it in Chrome for example Help will pop up. Thank you for advice.

I posted a while back on Reddit about my issue but have not heard back from anyone yet. So far I have everything else working besides the laptop's built-in touchpad. The touchpad seems to work under a Linux live CD/USB OS (Linux Mint) and in the Windows 10 Setup Installation when I tried to reset Windows with a fresh install in an attempt to sort out the driver issues. Even if I cannot get the specific drivers for my laptop, is there a way to have Windows at least use the generic drivers that are used when installing Windows? Linux reports the Touchpad as: "UNIW0001:00 093A:1336 Touchpad" My Reddit post: https://www.reddit.com/r/techsupport/comments/cw9pzc/drivers_and_feature_software_downloads_for_the/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x matt - hardinfo_report.html matt - Unsaved Document 1 -
So i have a HP laptop model HP AB 219 tx My touchpad works fine for some time until it stops working completely. The issue gets resolved whenever i restart the laptop or i reset the synaptics drivers from the mouse settings in windows 10. It doesn't seem to be a hardware issue, because touchpad starts working fine after driver reset or window restart. Also i have tried reinstalling driver, latest driver and even i have factory reset the windows. Can any1 give me a working solution? Thanks

Hi! Wanted to share this as it makes Macbook a really good windows laptop!! https://github.com/imbushuo/mac-precision-touchpad This developer has been working on a project for windows precision drivers for macbook / magic trackpad. This gives you all the touchpad settings within control panel. For example Four finger gestures Three finger gestures Pinch to zoom Reverse scrolling direction If you would like to test there is a link to reddit tutorial that is within the README. -
I have recently installed Linux MATE on my laptop, instead of the Mint cinnamon. But im experiencing a little bit of problems. It doesnt seem to like when i try to scroll with 2 fingers on the touchpad. It only moves the mouse whenever i try to scroll with 2 fingers, i need to have 3 fingers on the touchpad for it to scroll. I even went to the touchpad settings and looked, there was an option called "two finger scrolling" and it was enabled! Why doesnt it work? EDIT: it seems like even if i disable the option were it disables the touchpad when typing, it still disables it. I go into touchpad settings, and there is an option called "disable touchpad when typing" and ive disabled that option, still doesnt f-ing work!

So after installing Precision, the touchpad stopped working. I tried to update the driver back and also tried to roll back the driver. It says that the device is working, but obviously it is not. I also tried to download the drivers from Lenovo's website, but still didn't work. Any ideas? [Model and brand photo attached] Update: So it turns out that I have an outdated version of the trackpad. How do I update it back? (The current driver is downloaded straight from Lenovo's website) Update 2: So after digging the Internet, I could not sought any help except for going to Lenovo's support website for help. The solution the customer service guy gave was to do a system recovery. And what do you know? It worked! Many thanks to Norjaya, the customer service guy and @rcmaehl for the solutions!
