Hi M3TWJ,

Have you tried opening the Peppermint Control Center then going to the Keyboard & Pointer page and trying out the various options found there at the bottom in the Touchpad options section? If this does not bring any help to your issue then read on below ...

If possible, we can get better information about your system if you can open a terminal session (shortcut: Ctrl+Alt+T) and do the following commands:

Code: [Select]

inxi -Fz
xinput --listcopy the output to each of these commands and post it back here.

Hi M3TWJ,

Try these commands (found here) in a terminal and tell us if the touchpad responds normally (it is supposed to work immediately after running the commands, but the changes do not survive a reboot):

Code: [Select]

sudo -i
echo 'on' > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/i2c-SYNA3602\:00/power/control
rmmod i2c_hid
modprobe i2c_hid
If it does, maybe PCNetSpec can tell you how to make the changes survive a reboot.

Okay i try that when I get back thank you for helping me on this

[PCNetSpec]

If it doesn't work, can you run:

Code: [Select]

dmesg | grep SYNaand let us know if there are tons of errors reported ?

If the issue is what I think it may be, I thought it was supposed to have been fixed in kernel 4.15.0-44, and you're on 4.15.0-48, so maybe it's been reintroduced.
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1728244
and
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1776155
Did the touchpad work when booted to a live session on a LiveUSB of Peppermint 9 ? (ie. prior to any updates) ?


Maybe moving to the HWE track (and hence the 4.18 kernel) will solve the issue.
