I recently updated my laptop from Fedora 25 to 26. After the update, sometimes, usually after I close the lid, the trackpad stops working entirely. I can't move the pointer, click, or scroll.

Currently, I'm just restarting my computer from the terminal when this happens, which is very annoying. I've tried the following:

• Boot the Fedora 25 kernel from Grub


• Install the old mouse driver (xorg-x11-drv-synaptics-legacy)


• Remove psmouse from the kernel and add it back (it says modprobe: FATAL: Module psmouse is builtin.)

None of these have worked. Anyone know how to fix this?

EDIT: Here is the output of dmesg | grep mouse after it has frozen:

[ 0.819297] mousedev: PS/2 mouse device common for all mice

Also, even if the trackpad doesn't work, a USB mouse still does.

Sounds like a conflicting IRQ or port is the issue, have you tried changing the IRQ? You can usually do this through your bios settings, which is the easiest way I'm aware of. May be able to be done through CLI but I don't know the command...

I had a similar problem happen to me after rebooting for the first time in a while (after many dnf updates). The trackpad was completely gone from "Mouse & Touchpad" in the Settings application. I ended up restoring the trackpad by entering the following section in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/00-keyboard.conf and rebooting

Section "InputClass"
 Identifier "touchpad catchall"
 MatchIsTouchpad "on"
 Driver "synaptics"
EndSection

I got exactly the same same during my upgrade to Fedora26.
I just update my kernel, after the fresh install of Fedora 26, and it is working again, scrolling with both fingers is working as a charme, as it should...

With fresh install of Fedora 26, I got this kernel :

• 4.14.5-200.fc26.x86_64

and after the update of the kernel :

• 4.14.6-200.fc26.x86_64
