A similar problem happened with the previous Ubuntu release, but I was able to work around it. On both Bionic and Artful, both the hid_alps and the psmouse drivers get loaded by default and xinput shows a trackpad from both drivers. As long as the psmouse driver is loaded, synclient appears to work happily, but doesn't do anything and actually only the other driver does anything. Xinput and the Xorg logs show the trackpad twice. On Artful, forcing psmouse to be the only driver made everything, including all the settings available in synaptics tooling work perfectly. Now only the hid_alps driver seems to even make the pointer move, and there don't seem to be any ways to configure it much at all, for instance the speed is barely fast enough to be usable. Based on synclient only working with it and the lack of errors in any logs that I could think of, psmouse still seems the correct driver. It just doesn't make the pointer move any more. I tried installing some xserver-xorg-input packages that I didn't have installed, but it made the hid_alps driver work worse. I was not able to get the old behavior back just by booting the old kernel. xinput (): $ xinput ⎡ Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)] ⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)] ⎜ ↳ ATML1000:00 03EB:8A76 id=10 [slave pointer (2)] ⎜ ↳ Logitech USB Optical Mouse id=16 [slave pointer (2)] ⎜ ↳ ALP000E:00 044E:120C id=12 [slave pointer (2)] # hid_alps ⎜ ↳ AlpsPS/2 ALPS GlidePoint id=15 [slave pointer (2)] # psmouse ⎣ Virtual core keyboard id=3 [master keyboard (2)] ↳ Virtual core XTEST keyboard id=5 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Power Button id=6 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Video Bus id=7 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Sleep Button id=8 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ HP HD Camera: HP HD Camera id=9 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ AT Translated Set 2 keyboard id=11 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ HP Wireless hotkeys id=13 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ HP WMI hotkeys id=14 [slave keyboard (3)] --- ApportVersion: 2.20.9-0ubuntu7 Architecture: amd64 AudioDevicesInUse: USER PID ACCESS COMMAND /dev/snd/controlC0: lauri 12637 F.... pulseaudio CurrentDesktop: KDE DistroRelease: Ubuntu 18.04 InstallationDate: Installed on 2017-10-18 (190 days ago) InstallationMedia: Kubuntu 17.10 "Artful Aardvark" - Release amd64 (20171017.1) MachineType: HP HP EliteBook 1030 G1 Package: linux (not installed) ProcFB: 0 inteldrmfb ProcKernelCmdLine: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-4.15.0-20-generic root=UUID=0ebbe8b4-a902-49f3-bf6b-7371bc38e0e6 ro noquiet nosplash intel_iommu=on cgroup_enable=memory swapaccount=1 spectre_v2=off nopti ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.15.0-20.21-generic 4.15.17 RelatedPackageVersions: linux-restricted-modules-4.15.0-20-generic N/A linux-backports-modules-4.15.0-20-generic N/A linux-firmware 1.173 Tags: bionic Uname: Linux 4.15.0-20-generic x86_64 UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to bionic on 2018-04-26 (0 days ago) UserGroups: adm cdrom dip docker libvirt lpadmin plugdev pulse pulse-access sambashare sudo _MarkForUpload: True dmi.bios.date: 08/09/2016 dmi.bios.vendor: HP dmi.bios.version: N86 Ver. 01.04 dmi.board.name: 80FB dmi.board.vendor: HP dmi.board.version: KBC Version 14.35 dmi.chassis.asset.tag: 5CG64958MS dmi.chassis.type: 10 dmi.chassis.vendor: HP dmi.modalias: dmi:bvnHP:bvrN86Ver.01.04:bd08/09/2016:svnHP:pnHPEliteBook1030G1:pvr:rvnHP:rn80FB:rvrKBCVersion14.35:cvnHP:ct10:cvr: dmi.product.family: 103C_5336AN G=N L=BUS B=HP S=ELI dmi.product.name: HP EliteBook 1030 G1 dmi.sys.vendor: HP To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1767178/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages Post to : kernel-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
