  • fn key works on Ubuntu

  • touchpad including left/right click does not work on Ubuntu 18.04

  • touchpad does not seem to show up on xinput

Here is my kernel version.

As you can see my touchpad is not detected at all, nor is it even detected as some "generic mouse". I'm surprised that the fn key works tho.



Of course I tried the "fn + f10" combo to enable the touchpad, no luck.



After some googling and fixing attemps, my grub looks like this.

Any help appreciated, I really need to use my touchpad. I'm now using a wireless mouse. I can post more specs if necessary.

    As you can see my touchpad is not detected at all, nor is it even detected as some "generic mouse". I'm surprised that the fn key works tho.



    Of course I tried the "fn + f10" combo to enable the touchpad, no luck.



    After some googling and fixing attemps, my grub looks like this.

    Any help appreciated, I really need to use my touchpad. I'm now using a wireless mouse. I can post more specs if necessary.

      • touchpad does not seem to show up on xinput

      Here is my kernel version.



      user@TUF-GAMING-FX504GD-FX80GD:~$ uname -a
      Linux TUF-GAMING-FX504GD-FX80GD 4.15.0-22-generic #24-Ubuntu SMP Wed May 16 12:15:17 UTC 2018 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux


      As you can see my touchpad is not detected at all, nor is it even detected as some "generic mouse". I'm surprised that the fn key works tho.



      Of course I tried the "fn + f10" combo to enable the touchpad, no luck.



      After some googling and fixing attemps, my grub looks like this.



      user@TUF-GAMING-FX504GD-FX80GD:~$ sudo cat /etc/default/grub
      [sudo] password for user:
      # If you change this file, run 'update-grub' afterwards to update
      # /boot/grub/grub.cfg.

      # The resolution used on graphical terminal

      #GRUB_DISABLE_RECOVERY="true"

      # Uncomment to get a beep at grub start
      #GRUB_INIT_TUNE="480 440 1"


      Any help appreciated, I really need to use my touchpad. I'm now using a wireless mouse. I can post more specs if necessary.

          1. Try the below command and if it is not detecting touchpad in the output then it means Ubuntu don't support your touchpad unfortunately.



            less /proc/bus/input/devices



          2. After that or if you have already done step 3 you can try



            sudo rmmod i2c_hid
            sudo modprobe i2c_hid



          3. If it is showing your touchpad you have to edit the configuration file for GRUB.



            sudo nano /etc/default/grub


            and replace



            GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"


            with



            GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="i8042.reset quiet splash"


            save the file and exit, then run



             sudo update-grub


            and restart your laptop.

          Installing below package will resolve the touchpad issues on Ubuntu 18.04.



          sudo apt install xserver-xorg-input-synaptics


          On my laptop also touchpad was not working after installing ubuntu 18.04. After installing this package issue got resolved.

            shot in the dark... i literally JUST pulled updates and it started working for me!



            maybe try updating now?



            it's not 100% functionality and sometimes it turns off for some reason but it works!
