Need assistance with Linux? Let me know how I can help!
I’ve reached my limit with Windows 10 and switched to Linux. The forced update messed up its partitions and networking, plus some apps stopped working. Installation went smoothly until now. A big issue is the touchscreen’s HID function broke. After booting into Linux, I have to log in and run a command to disable it, but it comes back on after a few minutes. It’s really frustrating. I’m planning to remove the module that handles this feature. But I’m not sure how to do it myself. Could someone help me walk through the process? Thanks a lot!
Ubuntu 16.04.5 with kernel upgrade (UKUU). Clarification: "hurts less" means the issue causes less discomfort or pain. XP experiences mouse cursor movement every 3-4 minutes, appearing erratic and uncontrolled, forcing repeated commands. Additionally, the desktop's IPMI management isn't functioning properly (another topic I've discussed).
The system logs indicate a potential issue that might need fixing rather than just recompiling the kernel. Consider disabling the touchscreen module or removing the x.org driver. You're likely using x.org drivers, which are outdated for version 16.04—try a live USB of Manjaro to avoid any kernel-related fixes. Some devices depend on specific firmware; ensure it matches your hardware. Lastly, verify that touchscreen is recognized as an xrandr display device. Edited February 16, 2019 by Guest
You may consider trying 18.04 or 16.04, as they are nearly three years old.
The logs show I'm avoiding touchscreen features. I used xinput because no one else has the same issue, so I had to find another way. It seems it's working temporarily and doesn't completely disable HID functionality. The screen's HID part is faulty, but the display itself is fine.
