Good evening Community, I'm facing an issue with my laptop's touchpad (Dell Inspiron-3542). It stops working from time to time and doesn't respond to any movement (I've given all the details in this post of mine). The problem is when the touchpad's stopped from working, it still can be detected by the system, but when I try to suspend the laptop, the system got awakened after three attempts of suspension. It's absolutely impossible to suspend the system when the touchpad is not working. This is what I get after checking in the logs:

    Kernel: i2c_hid_acpi i2c-DLL0651:00: PM: failed to suspend async: error -110
    Kernel: PM: Some devices failed to suspend, or early wake event detected

I'm wondering if there is any possibility to remove the touchapd from the wakeup list, so the system will not have to suspend it after I close the lid?

Thank you in advance!

The solution was not to remove the touchpad from the "wakeup" list after all. All I had to do is to manually disable the touchpad from the configuration file. The system use by default libinput driver to handle touchpad, keyboard, webcam and other input devices. I hade to go to libinput configuration file, in my case was /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/40-libinput.conf and comment the lines related to the touchpad, as follows:

#Section "InputClass"
#        Identifier "libinput touchpad catchall"
#        MatchIsTouchpad "on"
#        MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
#        Driver "libinput"
#EndSection

After rebooting the system, and typing xinput list I could see that the touchpad was no longer detected. This way the system is now able to suspend without any problem.
