[SOLVED] Trackpad not working on Lenovo IdeaPad 3 14IIL05

Post by MarcasNC98 »

EDIT: By following the advice of Kuro07's post: viewtopic.php?f=49&t=333538&p=2083421#p2083421

I was able to get my trackpad working. To make it easier for anyone stumbling across this post, here's how I solved the issue.

Open the terminal and enter:

Code: Select all

xed admin:///etc/default/grub
You'll be prompted to enter your password.

Then, replace:

Code: Select all

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"
With:

Code: Select all

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash i8042.nopnp=1 pci=nocrs"
Save the file and then enter:

Code: Select all

sudo update-grub
Close the terminal and restart your system and hopefully it will have fixed the problem like it did for me.

Hi everyone,

This is my first time using Linux Mint so forgive me if I am having an issue with something obvious. I looked around on the forums for the same issue and tried the solutions that worked for other users who had a similar issue in the past, but those fixes haven't worked for me unfortunately.

I have tried to press F6 and F8 while using the Fn key and without, as this is how you activate and deactivate the trackpad on Lenovo machines, and this hasn't succeeded in activating my trackpad. When I go into the mouse settings, my trackpad doesn't show up as an option, only the USB mouse I currently have plugged in.

I am using Linux Mint XFCE.
