Leap 15.4 on Lenovo Yoga Slim 7 Pro R5H/16/512 14 - graphics, trackpad, mouse problems
Problems with Lenovo Yoga Slim 7 Pro R5H/16/512 14! I have the above machine, but cannot get the graphics, trackpad and mouse to work properly. The problem is that with kernel version 5.14.21-150400.24.46-default (64-bit) the trackpad and mouse works with no problem. However, the screen resolution is limited to 800x600. The screen's native resolution is 2880×1800. Then, I tried to upgrade the kernel, with the kernels found here: https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Kernel:/stable:/Backport/standard... When I upgrade to one of these kernels, I get 2880×1800. But, there is a big "but" here: The mouse and trackpad do not work properly. The cursor just jumps unpredictably over the screen. As a result, both the mouse and the trackpad become unusable. I then had to go back to the 5.14.21-150400.24.46-default which was installed when I installed Leap 15.4. Then the trackpad (and mouse if I choose to attach it) both work properly again. However, I am then stuck with a very coarse 800x600 screen resolution, which is certainly not functional. There is no way to change the resolution, as far as I can see. So what do I do in order to make the Lenovo Yoga Slim 7 Pro R5H/16/512 14 work with Linux? Is there a known kernel which will do the trick, or is there a way to change the resolution (and also get the correct color depth)? I assume that the correct kernel will solve the situation, but where is it to be found? Here is my machine. You can see the technical data of the machine in detail: http://www.coldsiberia.net/technics/20230318_224141_2000.jpg Sincerely, Per Inge Oestmoen, Norway

You don't specify what desktop and display server you are using. If it's a desktop that supports both (e.g. GNOME or KDE), then: If it's X.org, try Wayland, and _vice versa_. You can choose the display server on the log in screen. -- Liam Proven ~ Profile: https://about.me/liamproven Email: lproven@cix.co.uk ~ gMail/gTalk/FB: lproven@gmail.com Twitter/LinkedIn: lproven ~ Skype: liamproven IoM: (+44) 7624 277612: UK: (+44) 7939-087884 Czech [+ WhatsApp/Telegram/Signal]: (+420) 702-829-053

Thank you, I will try that now. Per Inge Oestmoen, Norway

Hello again! The problem is solved. The solution was, as it is so very often, a new kernel. The kernel that did the trick was this: kernel-default-6.2.8-lp154.2.1.g221c28f.x86_64 By the way, I use KDE. Per Inge Oestmoen, Norway
