Hello,

I just updated Fedora to F42 and now the sleep mode freezes my touchpad.

Found several posts on this topic but could not find a clear answer.

Here is my configuration:

Still not working after several updates…

Actually, to be more specific, I noticed this looks like a random bug: sometimes the touchpad doesn’t work after hibernate and sometimes it works.

Any help still appreciated

here is the link to my post on it. Auto suspend of Usb devices
