Description Rafael Rossi 2018-01-31 15:51:41 UTC
Touchpad SYNA3602:00 0911:5288 not working on Linux.
It works perfectly fine under Windows 10.

It should be related to this:
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/10046575/
but that patch didn't solve the problem in my laptop.

Also I'm finding bug reporting for same touchpad in similar hardware stating that Touchpad stops working after a while, even in Windows. This is not my case, it never worked in linux and always works in Windows 10.

Laptop is a Q4 2017 "Multicom Talisa U230", with an Intel Celeron N3450.

Comment 1 Rafael Rossi 2018-01-31 16:58:20 UTC
The "Multicom Talisa U230" looks same as "Jumper EZBook 3 Pro".
Comment 2 Paul Terry 2018-02-03 17:37:36 UTC
Same issue on "Chuwi LapBook Air" but different hardware name on the touchpad. Vendor and Product ID seem to be the same though.

Tried the same patch from https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/10046575/ on 4.14.16 kernel and tried base 4.15 kernel but the problem still remains.

Comment 4 Paul Terry 2018-02-05 21:10:16 UTC
If it helps, I have managed to "bodge"/"force" my touchpad to start working, but it isn't pretty. What I have done is below:

1. Blacklist the driver and set debug options - (May not be necessary, but when the mouse isn't working my laptop fails to suspend/resume properly, so I have it blacklisted)
[code]echo "blacklist i2c_hid" >> /etc/modprobe.d/00_i2c_hid
echo "options i2c_hid debug=1" >> /etc/modprobe.d/00_i2c_hid[/code]

2. Set debug i2c_hid kernel boot parameter

[code]systemd-boot
------
options ***other options blah blah blah*** i2c-hid.dyndbg=+p[/code]

3. Reboot machine
4. After login, run

[code]sudo modprobe -vr i2c_hid
sudo modprove -vi i2c_hid[/code]
I like the verbose flag so I can see what's going on

I have to repeat step 4 multiple times, I also use

[code]sudo libinput debug-events[/code]

so I can see when the touchpad actually kicks in.
Comment 5 Bogdan Arabadzhi 2018-04-04 09:28:21 UTC
Touchpad is not working for me either.

Teclast F7, Linux 4.14.x, 4.15.x.

Tried all the tricks listed anywhere, but still can't bring it from the dead.
Comment 6 Ludovic Geneix 2018-04-28 17:23:30 UTC
Hi,

Not working for me too.

Tester with an ezbook 3 pro v5 09-30-2017 BIOS and kernel 4.14.x, 4.15.x and 4.16.x.
Comment 7 Hual 2018-06-26 04:13:11 UTC
Hi,

I have the same problem with the chuwi air. I have played with the driver and see that the problem is in the sleep command, after reciving this command the device does not respond. I think this is a common problem with i2c-hid devices.

If you dont send this command the touchpad works, however another problem arises: the device works only when the computer is plugged to mains. If this is not the case the touchpad sends only one message to the computer when it detects an event, but doesn't send the complete movement. I think this is related with power saving.
Comment 8 Rafael Rossi 2018-06-26 09:00:22 UTC
Tested with kernel 4.17, still hopelessly dead.
In windows 10, no problems whatsoever.
Comment 9 Rafael Rossi 2019-01-27 11:32:56 UTC
Fixed in kernel 4.19. 
Backported to 4.18
