 |
|
Hello, I have Lenovo V15 g2, touchpad is not working. Amd Ryzen 5500u here.
I have tried to enable HID I2C, but without sucess.
I have Artix linux, it seems that touchpad is displayed as "ideapad extra buttons". How can I check drivers in Artix in order to make Gentoo work ?

RIA77,
Pastebin your kernel config file please.

Unplug your charger.
Does the touchpad work then? I've witnessed that poorly- or non- grounded charger can stop touchpad from working on some Lenovo laptops.

No, it just won't work.
Here is my config file

RIA 77,
the easiest method to get all needed modules is: Boot with a distribution of your choice where the touchpad works (e.g. Artix) and do a "lsmod". Notice all modules and you will see what you need.
If ... IF ... you know your touchpad is connected via I2C THEN you are missing some important options in your kernel configuration:
First of all ... it as an AMD ... this is CORRECT:
| Code: |
# CONFIG_X86_INTEL_LPSS is not set
CONFIG_X86_AMD_PLATFORM_DEVICE=y
CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE="/amd-ucode/microcode_amd_fam17h.bin" |
This is WRONG ... you will nees AMD and NOT Intel:
| Code: | # CONFIG_I2C_AMD756 is not set
# CONFIG_I2C_AMD8111 is not set
# CONFIG_I2C_AMD_MP2 is not set
CONFIG_I2C_I801=y |
i2c doesnt work without PINCTRL ... for AMD it is:
| Code: | | # CONFIG_PINCTRL_AMD is not set |
You have enabled many HID modules ... but not the only one you maybe will need:
| Code: | | # CONFIG_HID_MULTITOUCH is not set |
and this is necessary in every case:
| Code: | | # CONFIG_I2C_HID_ACPI is not set |
IF you have a Designware Controller you will need also:
| Code: | # CONFIG_I2C_DESIGNWARE_PLATFORM is not set
# CONFIG_PCIE_DW_PLAT_HOST is not set
# CONFIG_I2C_DESIGNWARE_PCI is not set |
(but try first without - OR - look into your output of "lsmod") |

pietinger,
The Intel/AMD divide is not as clear cut as anyone would like.
My AMD X570 board needs
That's an Intel option, originally too. PIIX4 is a very old Intel chipset.

Neddy,
thanks a lot for this hint. You have a desktop machine ? OP has a (modern) notebook (where I know these kind of machines shouldnt use these old chipset). Of course: Best is to check with "lsmod" - then you know for sure what you have  |

pietinger,
A long time ago AMD made processors under licence from Intel. Think i386 and i486 ... I don't think they made pentiums. They did their own thing thing with the k6 range.
Intel didn't like AMD as they made faster processor than Intel did :)
Nobody uses the PIIX4 chip set any more, well, its still to be seen inside Virtualbox but that's emulated, however the interface hangs around like a bad smell.
Every IBM clone still has the the ISA bus inside too ... but the less said about that the better.
Sensors are often attached to it,
As you say, use lsmod get the detail from something that works.

Can we expect some explanation to this lsmod ?
Something like: It is from an other distribution where it works. It is from my system and now it is working. It is from my system and touchpad doesnt work ... |

Great.
So, Neddy was right, you will need i2c_piix4
Also: hid_multitouch and i2c_hid_acpi. Because i2c needs pinctrl and there is no module, I think it is static in this kernel.
Now, have you done your configuration according to this ? |

RIA77,
your kernel configuration looks fine ... maybe you are only missing designware:
| Code: | Device Drivers --->
[*] PCI support --->
PCI controller drivers --->
DesignWare PCI Core Support --->
[*] Platform bus based DesignWare PCIe Controller - Host mode
I2C support --->
[*] ACPI I2C Operation region support
<*> I2C device interface
<*> I2C bus multiplexing support
[*] Autoselect pertinent helper modules
I2C Hardware Bus support --->
<*> Intel PIIX4 and compatible (ATI/AMD/Serverworks/Broadcom/SMSC
<*> SMBus Control Method Interface
<*> Synopsys DesignWare Platform
<*> Synopsys DesignWare PCI |

In addition to others, I have to say that I have a Legion and I think it has the same touchpad and wiring. I can't explain why, but genkernel seems to be unable to produce an intramfs that is capable of bringing my touchpad up. I wondered why it worked with gentoo-kernel and noticed it used dracut. I decided to try it and it seems dracut does something genkernel does not, because since then I haven't had an issue with the touchpad.
If you use initramfs which I believe you should be as this is an UEFI boot, try dracut.
p.s. I can confirm pietinger's suggestion as unloading the designware platform module shuts down the touchpad and modprobing it again fixes it.
Best Regards,
Georgi |

No multilib here.

I can't find this entry in config. Am I missing something ?

Open menuconfig and prezz / then type what you're looking for and see its location. What version is this? Options may have moved around the menus.
Here's what modules are loaded for my touchpad:
| Code: | lsmod | grep -E "i2c|hid"
hid_multitouch 32768 0
i2c_designware_platform 16384 0
i2c_designware_core 32768 1 i2c_designware_platform
i2c_hid_acpi 16384 0
i2c_hid 32768 1 i2c_hid_acpi
|
Try with a dist kernel as well. For fastest results - gentoo-kernel-bin. The difference with non-bin version is non-bin is compiled on your computer, but it should be identical to the bin version. If the dist kernel works, we'll take it from there.
It might be some of the Elan options, also GPIO, for example CONFIG_I2C_GPIO, but please run the distkernel and paste the output of the command above I've posted.
Also see pietinger's post about those things, don't mind the language if you don't understand it, just follow the options.
@pietinger, why are you not referencing your own post?

Georgi |

Yes: Device driver -> [*] Common Clock Framework --->
You can see it also in: /usr/src/linux/drivers/i2c/busses/Kconfig ->
| Quote: | config I2C_DESIGNWARE_PLATFORM
tristate "Synopsys DesignWare Platform"
depends on (ACPI && COMMON_CLK) || !ACPI
select I2C_DESIGNWARE_CORE
select MFD_SYSCON if MIPS_BAIKAL_T1
help
If you say yes to this option, support will be included for the
Synopsys DesignWare I2C adapter.
This driver can also be built as a module. If so, the module
will be called i2c-designware-platform. |

After enabling [*] Common Clock Framework ---> you should have:

I2C support --->
I2C Hardware Bus support --->
[*] Synopsys DesignWare Platform |
No ? |

It is strange ... in the last kernel .config you gave us, you had AMD_PLATFORM_DEVICE enabled ... and now you have:
| Code: | | # CONFIG_X86_AMD_PLATFORM_DEVICE is not set |
Is this a new/another computer, or do you use a complete new kernel config ?
RIA77, please read also all documentation @logrusx and I have given you so far. |
