Have you checked the "Touchpad drivers" notes near the middle of the Release Notes for Linux Mint 20 Cinnamon?


Also, disable Fast StartUp in Windows power management, so that Windows will fully release PC resources when it shuts down.

In your BIOS, disable Secure Boot, as it's known to interfere with Linux and device drivers. Also disable Fast Boot in the BIOS, to avoid system hardware initialization shortcuts.


If these changes don't resolve your touchpad issue, let's see more system info:

Open a Terminal (Ctrl-Alt-T), click on SELECT ALL and copy-and-paste this long command-line...

Code: Select all

(inxi -Fxxxrz --usb;lspci -nnk;lsusb -tv;xinput --list;dkms status;cat /proc/cmdline;mokutil --sb-state) 2>&1|nc termbin.com 9999

After a pause, a termbin.com URL will appear in the Terminal. Copy and paste that URL in a reply here.

There's a known bug that effects the touchpad of the Lenovo IdeaPad 3 15IIL05.

The solution for others was to add "i8042.nopnp=1 pci=nocrs" to the kernel command-line parameters in file /etc/default/grub. If you'd like to try this, the following Terminal commands will make a time-stamped backup of the file, add the kernel parameters, and update the grub configuration:


Open a Terminal window (Ctrl-Alt-T), then copy-and-paste the following three command-lines, one by one...

Code: Select all

G=/etc/default/grub;sudo cp $G{,.`date +%F.%s`} # add "i8042.nopnp=1 pci=nocrs"
sed 's/i8042.nopnp=1 pci=nocrs//' $G|tr -s ' '|sudo dd of=$G 2>/dev/null
sudo sed -i 's/GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="/&i8042.nopnp=1 pci=nocrs /' $G&&sudo update-grub

Reboot your laptop.



If you later wish to undo the above action:

Open a Terminal window (Ctrl-Alt-T), then copy-and-paste the following two command-lines, one by one...

Code: Select all

G=/etc/default/grub;sudo cp $G{,.`date +%F.%s`} # remove "i8042.nopnp=1 pci=nocrs"
sed 's/i8042.nopnp=1 pci=nocrs//' $G|tr -s ' '|sudo dd of=$G 2>/dev/null&&sudo update-grub

Reboot.
