Ahh okay, well I'm glad there's already a resolution. Any idea when to expect this patch? We have a good number of T480s in our fleet running Fedora and automation has pushed them all to 4.18.5-200

Sorry one more thing, trying to apply this patch manually but /usr/src/kernels/4.18.5-200.fc28.x86_64//drivers/hid/hid-multitouch.c doesn't exist, my /drivers/hid/ directory only contains the following files/directories and the patch command fails:

Also tested the new kernel version. Problem still persists.
I'm using a ThinkPad Yoga L380.

The Touchpad does work correctly with clicks (not pressing down the pyhiscal touchpad to click). When using two fingers and pressing down the touchpad (pyhiscal) the right click does not work.

Also:
When using two fingers to drag objects like windows, this is also not possible.
Pressing down the touchpad and using the second finger to drag results in no movement of the window. When doing this in a Browser like Chrome the same dragging motion results in a vertical-only scrolling motion.

Also when pressing down on the pyhsical button to left click, it is often recognized as a double click.

You can see the fixes I picked up at https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/kernel/c/473a8aafe6eae66e8053b11aba38df07b285349e?branch=f28 . If there's another one please let me know

This issue has not been resolved yet and I know it seems really minor, but when you use the touchpad exclusively, can't secondary click anything, and then forget it's broken and single click everything you meant to right click, it makes the OS unbearable to use.

kernel-4.18.9-100.fc27, kernel-headers-4.18.9-100.fc27 has been pushed to the Fedora 27 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.

I compiled upstream 4.19-rc6 today. Right and middle-click with two, respectively three fingers does not work. So I guess this bug might still be open? Also the official kernel package from the fedora repository 4.18.10-200 did not fix the issue.

I then used git bisect to find the commit which broke the functionality for me and I ended up with:

barish, can you provide us some logs so we can actually debug the issue?
I would need:
- a dmesg from the boot on the 4.18 kernel,
- an evemu-record of the touchpad (package evemu) when you are actually using the right click (still on the v4.18 kernel)
- While you are capturing the evemu trace, it would be interesting to see the 'libinput debug-events' trace in parallel (beware to not capture the password of 'sudo' while libinput debug-event is running. We won't see the actual characters, but we will see the length)

FYI, I specifically enabled the t480s with the patch you mentioned. So either the model I had had a different touchpad unit (which might explain), either there is a userspace misconfiguration. Any cases, the logs will show us what is going.

Peter mentioned that if you are on f28, which should be the case, you can replace the 2 recordings of evemu+libinput debug-event by a single call to "sudo libinput record".

You just need libinput-utils to be installed to be able to run the 'record' command

dmesg output for kernel 4.18.10 on ThinkPad Yoga L380

Hello,

like barish and Michael I still have problems with the Elan touchpad since kernel version 4.18-x

I am using a ThinkPad Yoga L380. All touchpad presses are now registered as BTN_LEFT clicks.

On 4.17-x i had to use two fingers to press on the touchpad to perform a right click (it was never the way, that i needed to press on the right side of the touchpad to perform a right click). Now i can just use the double finger tapping to right click.

Also when i need to move a window i can't just grab its top bar by clicking on the touchpad and moving it with another finger. Instead i need to double tab the top bar before moving it with a single finger, which is pretty annoying, when reaching the end ot the touchpad surface.

I attached the requested dmesg log from this morning.

Created attachment 1491992 [details]
libinput record of right click, left click and trying to move a window

I forgot to add the requested libinput record output of me performing a right click by using to fingers and clicking (like on 4.17-x) followed by a left click and then i tried to move a window (which is not possible without using the tab method).

so, we have:
    #   Event code 273 (BTN_RIGHT)
...
    # Properties:
    #    Property 0 (INPUT_PROP_POINTER)

Can you confirm that you have 2 physical buttons under the touchpad?

We never see a BTN_RIGHT event in the log, so I suspect you have a clickpad (the entire surface is depressible), and so the kernel exports the wrong device type.

Created attachment 1492024 [details]
libinput record of right click, left click and window drag

Yes, it seems you are right. The touchpad is in fact a clickpad.
I just checked the libinput record under kernel version 4.17.x and it does not show any Event Code for BTN_RIGHT.
The name and ID do also differ between both kernel versions.

Do you know the reason, why it does export it in this wrong way?

Yes. The reason is that starting with kernel v4.18, a different kernel module is driving the touchpad. In v4.17 and before, the touchpad was using PS/2 through the kernel module psmouse (and its extension elantech). Starting with v4.18, those touchpads are switched to I2C and are driven by elan_i2c.

The benefit of using I2C is that you can now have better latency: 5 fingers will be reported every 2 ms, while on PS/2 it took roughly 20ms IIRC. You can also have better and finer support of multitouch.

However, the elan_i2c module was first written for I2C only touchpads. For those dual PS/2 - I2C touchpads, the Windows driver fetches everything it needs in PS/2, and then rely on that for the I2C mode. *But* the I2C part of the firmware doesn't necessary have all of the bits in place to report the various modes. On the P52, for example, the touchpad is simply dead as the query functions just fail, so elan_i2c bails out.

Anyway, a long story to say that I am currently working on the P52 ATM, and the fixes for it should also benefit here by using the PS/2 information.

Note that we can force the touchpad to stick to PS/2 temporary. However, last time I gave such advice to fix one corner case, this spread as "the solution for everything", and it introduced more problems, especially while debugging. So I rather wait until I have a fix. Apologies for the inconvenience.

I added the logs. Right- and Middle click were only recognized as left button clicks.

I also tried your patch against kernel 4.19-rc7 without any effect.

(Thanks for the detailed description on how to get the logs.)

Michael, do you have the evemu-record of the touchapd with the patched kernel?

libinput still reports just BTN_LEFT: So nothing interesting to show there.

At this point, I am more interested in the description of the device. Once it reports itself as a buttonpad, libinput will properly handle the BTN_LEFT.

And looking into the patch, I forgot to check on "elan,buttonpad" in elan_i2c. So this explains why there is no change. It should be a matter of addingdiff --git a/drivers/input/mouse/elan_i2c_core.c b/drivers/input/mouse/elan_i2c_core.c

Works again! I attached the logs from evemu for verification.

Thanks for your help!

Glad to see this got worked out, Please let us know when there's a patch that's ready to apply to Fedora.

Hello Benjamin,

thank you for the explanation of the situation and the cause of the bug.

I build kernel 4.18.12 with both patches and I can confirm that it solves the bug completely on my Yoga L380. Everything works again and the clickpad is recognized correctly.

So this might be the solution for all Elan clickpad issues and also for the problems with Touchpad + HW buttons on TP P52 and P72.

Thank you for your help :)

Awesome! Took me a hot minute to learn how to compile a kernel but this patch did the trick thank you!

Hi, 

Need some help.  I currently use a thinkpad P52 and have run into the issue where touchpad completely stops working on any 4.18 kerenel to get around the issue I had been using a 4.17 kernel.  This morning after updating I know no longer have the 4.17 kernel and instead 3 4.18 kernels to choose from.  The latest kernel 4.18.13.200.fc38.x86_64 this issue is still present.  Touchpad not working at all.  I no longer have a 4.17 kernel to revert back to.  Please any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Yep, this is a known issue. I submitted the series upstream this week (https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-input/list/?series=30187) and I need to send a v2 based from the reviews. When this gets upstream, we will ask the fedora maintainers to take the patches in the v4.18 series, but we can't really backport patches that are not accepted upstream yet.

Apologies for the inconvenience.

ok thx Benjamin will probably have to switch to using my old macbook pro till this is resolved.

If you're not able to build your own patched kernel, you can use koji to download the last 4.17 kernel and its associate packages. Install the RPM files for kernel, kernel-core, kernel-devel, and kernel-modules

Hey just piggybacking on Stefan as I've been unable to find time to until I got the email notification, but it's still very time consuming having to rebuild my kernel every time a new one is released. My device is managed by Chef so dnf update is run every 30 minutes in the background and I don't realize I have a new kernel until I reboot and lose right-click again.

Created attachment 1500694 [details]
Lenovo P52, 4.18.16-300.p52.1.fc29.x86_64 with elan patches included

I now realize that I should have been more precise:

* F29 kernel: trackpad & touchpad on the Lenovo P52 do not work at all
* F29 kernel + elan patches: trackpad & touchpad do work

So for me this is not simply a "missing button functionality".

The only thing that doesn't work is the middle button in the button row below the touchpad. I don't see anything in the evemu record when I press that button.

All other 5 buttons (3 trackpad + left/right touchpad) and single, double, triple, ... tap on the touchpad work OK.

Again, apologies for the inconvenience. I have been side tracked last week and couldn't get the changes upstream.

Upstream requested a little bit of changes in a v2, but this turned out to be some more deeper changes in the elan_i2c driver. And I want to get this right which explains why I haven't been able to submit a quick v2.

Thanks for bringing this up. I didn't realized the BTN_MIDDLE was not reported. I'll fix that in the v2.

Strange, I'm still running the same kernel, but now that middle button works! Maybe it depends on the phase of the moon if it works or not....

Sorry to bother you again, but is there a branch for the kernel where one can checkout the progress? I noticed that nothing has been merged yet to 4.20-rc1/rc2.

Hi Benjamin,

I compiled a 4.20.0-rc3 kernel with your patches applied: https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/10/12/633 and it did a great job at fixing my touchpad,

Any chance to have it backported in f29/4.19?
Thanks for the great work :)

@Benjamin I just discovered your new patch series https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-input/list/?series=55699. Is that workaround supposed to be to replace the original series https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-input/list/?series=30187? It is marked for 4.18+ stable, i.e. will it make it to 4.19 and 4.20?

Well, depends for which. This series "fixes" the P52 and the P72 that have no touchpad since 4.18. I am still planning on properly fixing the previous series, but I really lack of time to make it happen.

For the t480s, which is this bug, I have asked Peter if he could quirk it in libinput until the kernel fix is in place (https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/libinput/libinput/issues/177)

> It is marked for 4.18+ stable, i.e. will it make it to 4.19 and 4.20?

If this gets accepted by Dmitry (I do not see any reasons why not), it will then be backported in these kernel versions, yes.

These two workarounds should buy me enough time to properly fix the elan_i2c/elantech interactions without having too many drawbacks of switching over an over the driver used by people.

Workaround for P52 works for me. New scratch build for F29: https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=31456822

Was this fix officially resolved and pushed upstream? My T480s with Elan Touchpad suddenly regained right click with two fingers and bottom right corner, running 4.19.10-300.fc29.x86_64. However I have some coworkers with the same laptop who report the issue persists.

The workaround in libinput 1.12.4 solved the problems also on my side!

Do you keep this bug report open to track the progress on the refactored patch for the kernel?

As mentioned, libinput 1.12.4 has a quirk for the t480s.
Regarding the kernel, I pushed a revert-like for the p52/p72, so now all those three machines should be fine. The patch has been backported to 4.19, so I guess if it's not already in F29, it will be in the next week or so.

The proper kernel support is still on its way, but I think we can close the Fedora bug right now.

I can confirm that with kernel-4.19.13-300.fc29.x86_64 TrackPoint & Touchpad including all 6 buttons work OOTB on my Lenovo P52.

Hello Benjamin,

i have to come back to this issue one more time. It seems that all the P50/P70s and the T480s work fine for now. But you forgot about my ThinkPad L380 Yoga, which has the same issue (Touchpad does not get recognized as a ClickPad).

I recently upgraded to Fedora 29 running Kernel 4.20.5. My right click still does not work though. The patches you posted earlier work fine for me, but i don't want to recompile this every time on my own machine. So i looked into the quirk which got applied to libinput and also added a similiar case for my L380 Yoga. After building this custom version though, my right click still does not work. I looked into the report of 'libinput debug-events' and found this message:

event16 - Elan Touchpad: kernel bug: clickpad advertising right button

Can you help me to get my ThinkPad L380 Yoga to work?

libinput records for two versions of libinput

I attached you the libinput record for the standard libinput 1.12.6 and my custom version with a quirk added for the L380 in a similar fashion to this: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/libinput/libinput/merge_requests/137/diffs

Both show an Event code for the BTN_RIGHT which should not be there. So it still does not get recognized correctly as a ClickPad.

What is currently blocking this from being merged into the Kernel? I have to keep reapplying this patch even on 4.20.8 -- the kernel bug linked in this thread appears to be a different issue, at least from the comments there. Does someone need to actually file a bug for the T480s (et al) touchpad issue to get this finally merged?

Was it already patched in kernel and merged?
If it was - which version of kernel was the first with this patch merged?
I'm having similar problems on other distro on kernel 5.2.9 with some HP Pavilion's touchpad and created libinput quirk which is basicly the same as quirks for this clickpad.
