Touch screen doesn't work
Hi, it is my first serious meeting with Linux. I have installed Linux Mint on HP envy x350 15-cp0013nr (Ryzen) and my touchscreen doesn't even react. On Windows works perfectly. Here it behaves like it doesn't exist. Please help me to install some drivers to run it.

Re: Touch screen doesn't work
This isn't Windows, you don't just look for the newest drivers in Linux necessarily. Drivers are mostly in the kernel. There does seem to be a bug there ...

... and it doesn't seem the kernel patches are out yet.

Upgrade your Linux kernel to a version which is 4.19.10 or above. This has the patch bundled in.
I would suggest upgrading to 4.20 (as this in a mainline kernel).
You can do this easily by installing Ukuu, instructions on how to do this below:

Re: Touch screen doesn't work
I have the same problem. Touchscreen works fine in windows and even in the virtual box install of Mint but doesn't work at all in the dual boot I just installed.
I tried the kernal upgrade that Greenfire suggested but still no touchscreen function.
Help?
