This bug is awaiting verification that the linux/5.13.0-24.24 kernel in -proposed solves the problem. Please test the kernel and update this bug with the results. If the problem is solved, change the tag 'verification-needed-impish' to 'verification-done-impish'. If the problem still exists, change the tag 'verification-needed-impish' to 'verification-failed-impish'. If verification is not done by 5 working days from today, this fix will be dropped from the source code, and this bug will be closed. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed.

This bug is awaiting verification that the linux-oem-5.14/5.14.0-1009.9 kernel in -proposed solves the problem. Please test the kernel and update this bug with the results. If the problem is solved, change the tag 'verification-needed-focal' to 'verification-done-focal'. If the problem still exists, change the tag 'verification-needed-focal' to 'verification-failed-focal'. If verification is not done by 5 working days from today, this fix will be dropped from the source code, and this bug will be closed. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed.

Until now, unfortunately, there seems to be no progress with integrating the patch: https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux- input/list/?series=523049 However, the siduction kernel 5.14-rc7 (5.14~rc7-1~exp2) already has integrated the patch. Could Ubuntu do the same? Is here anyone who could help accelerating the approval of the patch so that it could still make it into the 5.14 kernel.
