I recently bought the Chuwi LapBoook Pro. I installed Ubuntu 20.04 on it but the touchpad doesn't get recognized after the installation. In the installer and the live system I was able to use the touchpad normally without any problems. I also tried installing other distros after the ubuntu installation didn't worked. All of them (Arch, Manjaro, Debian, PopOS) had the same problem. Any ideas?

UPDATE: The touchpad now partially works. Sometimes after a boot it works fine sometimes not.

When the touchpad works, libinput list-devices outputs those two devices:

Device:           HTIX5288:00 0911:5288 Mouse

Otherwise there are not there. So I think that the touchpad doesn't get recognized.

  • Does it work with a USB mouse plugged in? Also, which specific model is your laptop? – KGIII Aug 28 '20 at 01:45
  • A USB mouse works well. Also the problem changed now. The touchpad works now after some boots and after some not. I don't do anything while booting that would have an impact on that. – pnexus Aug 29 '20 at 11:21
  • Does your laptop have a switch (or Fn + key combo) that disables the touchpad? – KGIII Aug 29 '20 at 11:37
  • yes it does have one but pressing it makes no difference – pnexus Aug 29 '20 at 15:05
  • I now updated the error with a little bit information. – pnexus Aug 29 '20 at 15:23
  • There seems to be a lot of bugs for your touchpad with Linux. You can try a shotgun approach and install these: xserver-xorg-input-libinput xserver-xorg-input-evdev xserver-xorg-input-mouse Again, that's a shotgun and those all have various input device drivers among them. – KGIII Aug 29 '20 at 15:56
  • Sadly that didn't worked. I guess I have to use Windows then. – pnexus Aug 30 '20 at 16:14
