Hi everyone,
I’m dealing with a frustrating issue regarding the touchpad on my laptop. Whenever I try to scroll, the touchpad frequently freezes up or registers phantom/random clicks across the screen.
System Details:
- OS: Fedora 44 Workstation
- Device: HP laptop 15-bs1xx
- CPU: Intel Core i5-8250U @ 1.60GHz (1.80 GHz)
- RAM: 8.00 GB
- GPU: Intel UHD Graphics 620 (128 MB)
What I have tried so far: I suspected the known Synaptics hardware conflict, so I attempted to disable InterTouch by applying the following kernel parameter: sudo grubby --update-kernel=ALL --args="psmouse.synaptics_intertouch=0" Unfortunately, this did not resolve the freezing or the clicking.
Has anyone with a similar HP laptop encountered this recently? Are there specific libinput debugging steps I should run to capture these ghost events, or other kernel parameters (like forcing proto=imps or adjusting the i8042 controller) that might stabilize the connection?
Thanks in advance for your guidance!
Best regards,
N S Rawat
