Fix Touchpad Issues on a Dell Laptop

Problem: Scrolling and other gestures do not work. To fix this, you need to reload i2c_hid_acpi after every unlock.

Fix

  1. Clone this Repo

  2. Move the reloadTouchpad.sh to a safe location and replace YOUR_PASSWORD_HERE with your password

  3. Move unlock.service to ~/.config/systemd/user (if this directory does not exists create it)

  4. Replace PATH_TO_YOUR_RELOADTOUCHPAD_SH with the path to your reloadTouchpad.sh in the unlock.service file

  5. Move reloadTouchpadDriverOnBoot.service to /etc/systemd/system

  6. Replace PATH_TO_YOUR_RELOADTOUCHPAD_SH with the path to your reloadTouchpad.sh in the reloadTouchpadDriverOnBoot.service file

  7. Copy lockheed to /usr/local/bin

  8. Make lockheed executable: sudo chmod +x lockheed

  9. Enable both services:

    systemctl --user enable unlock.service
sudo systemctl enable reloadTouchpadDriverOnBoot.service

  10. Reboot and your touchpad should now support scrolling & gestures.

Caveats

Fix tested with Arch (6.4.2-arch1-1) and Gnome 44.3. USE THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK!
