Hi Jonathan, For starters, did you see this in dmesg? : [ 0.422648] i8042: PNP: PS/2 Controller [PNP0303:KBC0] at 0x60,0x64 irq 1 [ 0.422652] i8042: PNP: PS/2 appears to have AUX port disabled, if this is incorrect please boot with i8042.nopnp And did you try booting with "i8042.nopnp" ? Also what is the output of: ls -l /sys/bus/i2c/devices and of: ls -l /sys/bus/acpi/devices/ELAN066C:00/ and of: cat /sys/bus/acpi/devices/ELAN066C:00/status ?Hey Hans, Yeah, I did see that in my dmesg and did try i8042.nopnp by itself and with combinations of pci=nocrs and the other i8042 options, with no effect except breaking audio. # ls -l /sys/bus/i2c/devices total 0 lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 0 Oct 14 2023 i2c-0 -> ../../../devices/platform/AMDI0010:00/i2c-0 lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 0 Oct 14 2023 i2c-1 -> ../../../devices/platform/AMDI0010:01/i2c-1 lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 0 Oct 14 21:11 i2c-2 -> ../../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:08.1/0000:04:00.0/i2c-2 lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 0 Oct 14 21:11 i2c-3 -> ../../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:08.1/0000:04:00.0/i2c-3 lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 0 Oct 14 21:11 i2c-4 -> ../../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:08.1/0000:04:00.0/i2c-4 lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 0 Oct 14 21:11 i2c-5 -> ../../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:08.1/0000:04:00.0/drm/card1/card1-eDP-1/i2c-5 lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 0 Oct 14 21:11 i2c-6 -> ../../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:08.1/0000:04:00.0/drm/card1/card1-DP-1/i2c-6 lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 0 Oct 14 21:15 i2c-7 -> ../../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.0/i2c-7 lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 0 Oct 14 21:15 i2c-8 -> ../../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.0/i2c-8 lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 0 Oct 14 21:15 i2c-9 -> ../../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.0/i2c-9 lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 0 Oct 14 2023 i2c-ELAN238E:00 -> ../../../devices/platform/AMDI0010:00/i2c-0/i2c-ELAN238E:00 # ls -l /sys/bus/acpi/devices/ELAN066C:00/ total 0 -r--r--r--. 1 root root 4096 Oct 14 21:16 hid -r--r--r--. 1 root root 4096 Oct 14 21:16 modalias -r--r--r--. 1 root root 4096 Oct 14 21:16 path lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 0 Oct 14 21:16 physical_node -> ../../../../platform/AMDI0010:01/ELAN066C:00
Ok this looks like a platform-device is being instantiated for the touchpad
rather then an i2c_client.
Can you do:
ls -l /sys/bus/platform/devices | grep ELAN066C
and let me know the output of that ?
If that confirms that a platform device is being instantiated
then the issue likely is that neither of the 2 if-s here:
Method (_CRS, 0, NotSerialized) // _CRS: Current Resource Settings
{
Name (SBFG, ResourceTemplate ()
{
GpioInt (Level, ActiveLow, ExclusiveAndWake, PullUp, 0x0000,
"\\_SB.GPIO", 0x00, ResourceConsumer, ,
)
{ // Pin list
0x0009
}
})
If ((^^^PCI0.LPC0.H_EC.ECRD (RefOf (^^^PCI0.LPC0.H_EC.TPTY)) == 0x01))
{
Name (SBFB, ResourceTemplate ()
{
I2cSerialBusV2 (0x0015, ControllerInitiated, 0x00061A80,
AddressingMode7Bit, "\\_SB.I2CD",
0x00, ResourceConsumer, , Exclusive,
)
})
Return (ConcatenateResTemplate (SBFB, SBFG))
}
If ((^^^PCI0.LPC0.H_EC.ECRD (RefOf (^^^PCI0.LPC0.H_EC.TPTY)) == 0x02))
{
Name (SBFC, ResourceTemplate ()
{
I2cSerialBusV2 (0x002C, ControllerInitiated, 0x00061A80,
AddressingMode7Bit, "\\_SB.I2CD",
0x00, ResourceConsumer, , Exclusive,
)
})
Return (ConcatenateResTemplate (SBFC, SBFG))
}
}
Returns true causing no i2c-client to get instantiated.
If that is the case the first thing to do is try a DSDT overlay replacing the
first if:
If ((^^^PCI0.LPC0.H_EC.ECRD (RefOf (^^^PCI0.LPC0.H_EC.TPTY)) == 0x01))
{
...
}
With dropping the If so you get:
{
...
}
See: https://docs.kernel.org/admin-guide/acpi/initrd_table_override.html
And then specifically the "How does it work" section.
