Thanks!
I tried to load the batch script instead but it did not work. From the status command, I get an interesting error:
EnableTouchPad.sh[2494]: Unable to connect to X server
It is being triggered before the X server. Try to trigger it after the resume or the graphical target.
- Can you add
user=rootto your[Service]section? - What does
EnableTouchPad.shdo from a normal terminal? Any errors there? What is your sleep timer? 15 or less?
Got the same laptop a few days ago and have the same problem! (5.8 kernel, touchpad didn’t work OOB on lower).
Previously tried reloading psmouse module, but it had no effect - so thanks for the xinput hint, at least I can enable it manually without a restart when I need to. Looking forward to finding a solution to this issue.
As bapman is not responding, feel free to share your effort in this. What’s the output of
EnableTouchPad.sh
from a normal window and does that restore the touchpad?
Hi. I too have the same model and encountered the same issues with the touchpad after resume. I’ve updated the BIOS to the latest DMCN32WW (release date 14/07/2020) but this didn’t resolve the touchpad issues.
Running the EnableTouchPad.sh on terminal after resuming from suspend activates the touchpad. However, it doesn’t work as systemd:
EnableTouchpad.sh[30605]: Unable to connect to X server
The command seems to run before X server graphical interface is running. I’ve tried other alternatives as well.
- Edited the enabletouchpad.service to try to apply after the graphical interface is running. Doesn’t work. Same error message “Unable to connect to X server”. My file now includes:
[Unit]

[SOLVED] Clevo NH55 laptop touchpad hang/freezes after lid close - Newbie Corner - Manjaro Linux Forum - didn’t work but I expected it to fail;
-
SYNA3602 touchpad not working at all - modprobe works (doesn’t need X server to run) for a couple of seconds and then it’s disabled. I also noticed that when re-enabling the touchpad manually my inverted scroll setting reverted to default;
-
compiled most recent kernel (5.8.2) but continued to have issues with the touchpad;
-
included the
xinput --enable 'PNP0C50:00 06CB:CDB0 Touchpad'command in the ~/.xinitrc file but it also didn’t work.
I’ve managed the touchpad issue by assigning the F9 key to toggle the touchpad. Also, when the screen opens it doesn’t wake the OS. I need to press a key to wake up the device.
Other issues I’ve had with the slim 7:
-
suspend to ram is not advertised by the BIOS to the OS. ACPI S3 sleep is unavailable by default. I followed this post to enable sleep to RAM - https://www.reddit.com/r/linuxhardware/comments/i28nm5/ideapad_14are05_s3_sleep_fix/
-
brightness jumps to max when booting. Resolved this by setting a manual brightness in the ‘Power Management’ settings.
Overall, the laptop is running fine for the most part. Completely idle it drains around 2.5W - 3W on battery with very dim screen. I’m using tlp and auto-cpufreq which allows the cpu to ramp up under heavy load with turbo enabled a few seconds.

Let’s try a radical new approach and un/reload the module for that touchpad when coming back from sleep.
As I don’t have your hardware, what’s the output to:
grep /proc/modules "touch"
cat /proc/modules |grep touch
hid_multitouch 32768 0 - Live 0x0000000000000000
hid 143360 4 hid_generic,hid_multitouch,hid_sensor_hub,i2c_hid, Live 0x0000000000000000
I’ve tried with i2c_hid. The issue I had with this one was that it stopped working after a few seconds after resuming. My inverted scrolling also had reverted to default after manually enabling the touchpad.
all out of bright ideas then…
Thanks for trying to help.
Yes, thank you! Very weird issue, it seems that systemd does not have the right to connect to the X server. If someone finds the solution, do not hesitate to post!
the reason I wanted to take it to the module level, but as I don’t have your hardare, I need to find the module first…
/usr/bin/restart-touchpad.sh
#!/bin/bash
echo "Restarting Touchpad just in case"
declare -x DISPLAY=":0.0"
declare -x XAUTHORITY="/home/"$USER"/.Xauthority"
xinput disable 'PNP0C50:00 06CB:CDB0 Touchpad'
xinput enable 'PNP0C50:00 06CB:CDB0 Touchpad'
(you may need to make this file executable with sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/restart-touchpad.sh)
~/.config/systemd/user/restart-touchpad.service
[Unit]
Description=Restart Touchpad
After=basic.target suspend.target hibernate.target
[Service]
Type=oneshot
Environment=DISPLAY=:0
ExecStart=/usr/bin/restart-touchpad.sh
WantedBy=basic.target suspend.target hibernate.target
Then enable it:
systemctl enable restart-touchpad.service --user --now
Let me know how it goes. I think it should work 
(EDIT - it seems some users may need to replace “$USER” in the above script with their actual username to reflect the actual path, ex: /home/cscs/.Xauthority)

Thanks for helping out! There still seems to be an issue with the systemd service.

Anyone else with the same error messages?
The command correctly restarts the touchpad after suspend. The issue seems to be on the systemd side.
I tested this and couldnt reproduce your issue …
Are you sure its copied correctly?
It must be a user service as shown above.
Maybe also check what is
echo "$DISPLAY"
echo “$DISPLAY”
:0
I had correctly copied the content of the files.
Anyone else?
Some additional information on the drivers in case it’s useful:

Other Ideapad models seem to have issues with drivers but this one doesn’t seem to use elants - https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Lenovo_IdeaPad_5_15are05#Touchpad`
A quick thing to check… … can you edit the script and replace “$USER” with your actual username and check that ? (so that it reflects the actual path, ex - /home/cscs/.Xauthority)
Yes!!! It works! Thank you, thank you, thank you! 
Hm. Yeah thats more sure… but I thought I had gotten it with the env var … owell
but hey … glad it worked in the end 
cheers!
