On new Dell Inspiron 15 5576, the touchpad stops working a few seconds after reaching the display manager. In fact, what I have figured out is, that on reboot, if I use the mouse and don't touch the touchpad, it will work. Once I use the touchpad, it lasts about 3 seconds and then stops working.
I found this message in the journalctl, and the fault time exactly corresponds with when the touchpad stopped working:
So I added something to the bug report, and would be interested to know if anyone here has any comments (since I assume not everyone here is reviewing the bug reports as much as this list): I found this out also. If I run this command, here is what I get: # modprobe -r psmouse ; modprobe psmouse modprobe: FATAL: Module psmouse is builtin. So, looking further, I found this: tribeDellbig:/lib/modules/4.11.5-1.g8ffa6bb-default # cat modules.builtin | grep mouse kernel/drivers/input/mousedev.ko kernel/drivers/input/mouse/psmouse.ko When I go to that directory, here is what I find: # ls -g -o /lib/modules/4.11.5-1.g8ffa6bb-default/kernel/drivers/input/mouse total 276 -rw-r--r-- 1 27400 Jun 14 12:22 appletouch.ko -rw-r--r-- 1 27504 Jun 14 12:22 bcm5974.ko -rw-r--r-- 1 88216 Jun 14 12:22 cyapatp.ko -rw-r--r-- 1 54800 Jun 14 12:22 elan_i2c.ko -rw-r--r-- 1 11048 Jun 14 12:22 gpio_mouse.ko -rw-r--r-- 1 11888 Jun 14 12:22 sermouse.ko -rw-r--r-- 1 18360 Jun 14 12:22 synaptics_i2c.ko -rw-r--r-- 1 17048 Jun 14 12:22 synaptics_usb.ko -rw-r--r-- 1 12128 Jun 14 12:22 vsxxxaa.ko The psmouse.ko file does not exist.
