Xiaomi Mi Notebook Pro 15.6 Ryzen edition touchpad sometimes doesn't work

@ricklinux
I think so…why everyone keep asking me same thing which was answered in op? :sweat_smile:

What i did from arch wiki was that:

  1. Add option to grub settings

/etc/default/grub

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet loglevel=3 nowatchdog i8042.noaux"
  1. Update grub
grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
  1. Reboot

Have i missed something from wiki?

@nate

I don’t think touchpad is listed here?

Friend of mine was right when he said there might be some “untouchable” hidden setting enabled by default, like Fast boot inside Xiaomi bios, he said sometimes when this is enabled computer can skip some hardware initialization steps on boot, which can lead to not properly working things…

Xiaomi’s bios have only Secure boot, which i have disabled already since it is advised for Linux as i’ve read.
