Hi @Pop Michael (the-legion), I think your distro is similar to mine (Pop!_OS 20.10) so I'll try to describe what I did. I was struggling with this for some time too, cause it was the first time I've applied a patch and re-built a kernel.
First, check if pinctrl-amd is included in kernel or not: # modinfo pinctrl-amd if it says `filename: (builtin)` then continue. Otherwise standalone solution #189 is for you, which is easier cause you don't have to rebuild the kernel. Download the patch from #179. Go into root mode: # sudo -i Get the kernel source: # apt-get source linux-image-$(uname -r) Go into the source: # cd linux-5.8.0/ Apply the patch: # patch -p1 < /path/to/patch/0303-pinctrl-amd2.patch Build the kernel: # debian/rules binary-headers binary-generic binary-perarch This will take some time. Now install newly build kernel: # dpkg -i linux-image-5.8.0-7625-generic_5.8.0-7625.26~1604441477~20.10~d41e407_amd64.deb linux-headers-5.8.0-7625_5.8.0-7625.26~1604441477~20.10~d41e407_all.deb linux-headers-5.8.0-7625-generic_5.8.0-7625.26~1604441477~20.10~d41e407_amd64.deb Your files might have different versions. But it should be 3 files: linux-image-*.deb, linux-headers-*.deb and linux-headers-*-generic-*.deb. I'm not sure if it should be 3 files, maybe 2 is sufficient, but it didn't hurt my system. Finally reboot. And touchpad should work. I hope this helps. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-input-libinput in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1887190 Title: MSFT Touchpad not working on Lenovo Legion-5 15ARH05 Status in Pop!_OS: New Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in xserver-xorg-input-libinput package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in linux package in Arch Linux: Fix Committed Status in linux package in Fedora: Confirmed Status in linux package in openSUSE: New Bug description: Hello The MSFT touchpad of this Lenovo Legion-5 15ARH05 laptop is not reacting at all (pointer and click never move when touchpad is touched).
