Btw, after running hid-recorder, you can also run “sudo hid-replay hid_reports” to see if the problem can be reproduced.
I froze for several swipes.
When I replay the log file the cursor seems to make the same freeze, but it only moves on the upper edge of the screen; my touchpad movements were done in the middle part of the screen.
Here’s what I see on my screen,
(left to right)
…a…b…
(right to left)
…c…
I see three pauses at point a, b and c respective. All the movements are done in a non-stop, continuous way, right?
Can you try GitHub - coiby/standalone_i2c_hid at polling_regardless_of_gpio_pin_state and then paste the result of hid-recorder?
Hello @coiby
I still get freezes with the github code. DO you need some more traces?
Thank you for providing the feedback! It seems your touchpad hasn’t been set up properly by the driver. Is it possible for me to access your OS via Teamviewer to debug this issue?
Hello @coiby I’ve send you a private message
Thank you! Meanwhile can you do me a favor to show me the result of sudo cat /sys/kernel/debug/gpio|grep -A1 "pin16\s"?
$ sudo cat /sys/kernel/debug/gpio|grep -A1 "pin16\s"
pin16 interrupt is disabled| interrupt is masked| disable wakeup in S0i3 state| disable wakeup in S3 state|
disable wakeup in S4/S5 state| input is low| pull-up is disabled| pull-down is enabled| output is disabled| 0x40000
I’m going to submit a patch soon to fix another touchpad (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1887190) and I need to make sure it won’t cause any regression.
On my laptop the output looks like this
pin16 Level trigger| Active low| interrupt is enabled| interrupt is unmasked| enable wakeup in S0i3 state| disable wakeup in S3 state|
disable wakeup in S4/S5 state| input is high| 4k pull-up| pull-up is enabled| Pull-down is disabled| output is disabled| 0x153b40
Hi guys, is there any progress on this? I’m using ASUS M513 and Ubuntu 20.04 and I can confirm the same touchpad mouse freezes that are random. The touchpad scroll works all the time as well. I noticed the same issues using GParted bootable iso. It works fine on Windows 10 so it can’t be a hardware issue. Also I tried both synaptics driver and libinput
@coiby do you have some new ideas about this problem? I could give you remote access again if you need it
Any news on this issue?
I recently got a Lenovo Thinkpad T490 and in the past week, started to experience this problem…when using the trackpoint or when using trackpad.
Very frustrating…
Hope there’s progress on this problem.
Thanks,
Mark
Hi @ArchiMark,
Could you share your laptop’s ACPI DST? https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=212379 provides a new clue to investigate the root cause of this bug.
You can use the following commands to get dsdt.dsl (you need to install acpica which provides iasl)
a) sudo acpidump > acpidata.out
b) acpixtract -sSSDT acpidata.out
c) acpixtract -sDSDT acpidata.out
d) iasl -da dsdt.dat ssdt*.dat
If the steps after a) fail, you can simply upload acpidata.out.
If you can understand the discussion in https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=212379, you can even check if the workaround in https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=212379#c31 works .
I had similar issue, here is my post with solution

Hi @coiby
Sorry for the very very late reply…
I had another issue with laptop and Lenovo tech guy came and decided that trackpoint unit was problem. So, he replaced keyboard / trackpoint.
Thank you @Caraffa it seems that using the latest RT kernel is the solution for this problem.
I will get back if I get the error again.
I have been experiencing the same random short freeze of touchpad on my laptop as well.
