I try editing "/etc/default/grub" and I add "i8042.notimeout i8042.nomux" to the string in quotes of GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX.

I also try:
cp /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-synaptics.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-synaptics.conf

and then I edit:
Section "InputClass"
        Identifier "touchpad catchall"
        Driver "synaptics"
        MatchIsTouchpad "on"
####################################
## The lines that you need to add ##
# Enable left mouse button by tapping
        Option  "TapButton1"  "1"
# Enable vertical scrolling
        Option  "VertEdgeScroll"  "1"
# Enable right mouse button by tapping lower right corner
        Option "RBCornerButton" "3"
####################################

        MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
EndSection


The TouchPad is not present in lsusb output and in dmesg too.

Comment 1 Philip 2014-07-03 07:36:32 UTC
everytime that I switch on my PC, the kworker takes more then 50% of my CPU and it doesn't stop until I press up and down the brightness of my monitor with the "special command" of my keyboard ("Fn + F6" or "Fn + F7")

Comment 2 Philip 2014-07-17 08:42:56 UTC
I see that editing the "/etc/default/grub" file's (I add "i8042.notimeout i8042.nomux" to the string in quotes of GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX) the change does't appear on booting.

I did "grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/efi/EFI/fedora/grub.cfg" AND NOW MY TOUCHPAD WORKS!

Hi,

That is good news, can you please try removing i8042.notimeout, rerun grub2-mkconfig  and see if things still work?

Thanks,

Hans

Comment 4 Philip 2014-10-23 07:07:45 UTC
I tried, but it doesn't work without.

Hi Philip,

(In reply to Philip from comment #4)
> I tried, but it doesn't work without.

Ok, thanks for trying, can you try to other way around, so keep i8042.notimeout and drop i8042.nomux ?
The reason I'm asking is that we need to know which quirks your machine exactly needs before sending a kernel patch upstream to do this automatically on your machine.

For this we also need to have the dmi strings of your machine (to match the quirks on them), can you also please run:

sudo dmidecode > dmi.log

And attach the generated dmi.log file here ?

Thanks,

Jans

Thanks.

I've got another report for the lifebook AH544 here:

https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=69731

Which states that only adding notimeout is enough, can you confirm this ?

Comment 8 Philip 2014-10-24 09:14:34 UTC
Yes, I can confirm.

Comment 10 Hans de Goede 2014-10-24 09:43:25 UTC
Thanks, I've send the patch which I've just attached upstream, this should make future kernels automatically do the right thing.

Josh, can you please add this to the Fedora kernels (it should end up in stable eventually and then we can drop it again) ?

Comment 11 Josh Boyer 2014-10-24 15:00:54 UTC
Applied to F20-rawhide.  Thanks!
