Hey,
HP Elitebook x360 1030 g2 Convertible.
Currently on Linux 6.11.11-1-MANJARO, Gnome.
I’m having trouble with my tablet-mode. When folding my convertible laptop, it switches to tablet-mode and back to laptop-mode, as it should be.
But this does not work always. It occurs to me that the longer the laptop stays in tablet mode, the more likely it is to being unable to recognize the lid-switch back to laptop-mode. Tablet-mode disables keyboard and touchpad and the only way to get out of this is by killing the laptop, simply rebooting does not work.
I’m a student with daily classes, so i have to kill my laptop at least once everyday.
I had it fixed about a month ago by simply disabling tablet mode:
sudo rmmod intel_hid
sudo rmmod intel_ish_ipc
and blacklisting them:
sudo touch /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.intel.hid
blacklist intel_hid
sudo touch /etc/modprobe.d/blacklsit_intel_ish_ipc.conf
blacklist intel_ish_ipc
After an update about a week ago, this no longer works.
I looked on ArchWiki “Tablet-PC” and tried to get “tablet-mode” by schard running.
This is the error message that i got:
Traceback (most recent call last):

I tried messing around, but nothing worked.
This is my current tablet-mode.jason file:
{
"tablet": [
"/dev/input/by-path/platform-i8042-serio-0-event-kbd",
"/dev/input/by-path/platform-i8042-serio-3-event-mouse"
],
"notify": false,
"sudo": "/usr/bin/doas"
}
Just to be clear, that my laptop does theoretically recognize the sensor, as long as i don’t stay for too long in tablet mode:

The problem occurs after spending up to 1h30 (i don’t know the specific time window, but happens mostly after every class) in tablet-mode. Then, the switch-toggle just doesn’t appear anymore and my keyboard / touchpad keep being disabled.
I don’t find any solution to this, and i really don’t want to keep on killing my laptop day by day. Can anyone help me?
