Hi maybl8,
Thanks, if check modules could be related to i2c / hid touchpad.
See also you have pinctrl_cannonlake is loaded (seem great to add it but not enough)
I check to include this modules on linux64 :
+drivers/hid/intel-ish-hid/intel-ishtp-hid.ko.xz
+drivers/hid/intel-ish-hid/intel-ishtp.ko.xz
+drivers/hid/intel-ish-hid/intel-ish-ipc.ko.xz
+drivers/i2c/i2c-smbus.ko.xz
+drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-i801.ko.xz
Put new iso again https://people.slitaz.org/~shann/slitaz-current-stuff/efitest/slitaz-current-core64.iso
For pinctrl_* (intel) it's built-in in kernel maybe not necessary.

This image doesn't boot when I write it to the usb drive.
Tried it twice.

I test it on qemu with/without UEFI with success.
In case i relaunch kernel build in quick break point in afternoon, rebuild iso in progress.
Only change same kernel that yesterday iso + modules i said previously.
Test iso on my eeepc (bios mode in case), iso build morning work on usb stick

Sorry You didn't have to remake the iso. It was my fault. The BIOS setting changed on booting to USB .
However still no touchpad.
I noticed if it matters that under preferences Keyboard and mouse there is no setting for the touchpad. That could be because it doesn't see one. I assume.
I will continue to test as you make new iso's but if you have other items that you are working on you don't have to keep trying this. I wish I could provide you with the info you need. Sounds like you are building from ground up. I don't have that level of experience to help.
I did at one time look into trying Linux from Scratch. But it was too much for me.
Thanks

Ciao a tutti, il touchpad, o meglio il touchscreen è una battaglia dura farlo funzionare; sebbene il driver faccia capo ad un chip, il raster a cui è collegato, varia da modelloa modello. Ultimo pure udev se non carica nella giusta sequenza i moduli, non se ne viene a capo.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hi all, the touchpad, or rather the touchscreen is a tough battle to get it to work; although the driver reports to a chip, the raster to which it is connected varies from model to model. Last as well udev if it doesn't load the modules in the right sequence, you can't get to grips with it.

Hi,
@maybl8
no problem, in case i continue to upgrade stuff on current.
For kernel no from scratch, upgrade kernel from old slitaz config (3.16.55) to 4.x and 5.10 branch, with adjust config when necessary.
For touchpad feature, in case check with Ubuntu kernel config to see potential modules miss.
In my case I2C and PINCTRL_AMD to have touchpad work, but in your case seem miss again.
@gibor,
yes it's pain, for my touchpad on HP Elitebook, said miss PINCTRL_AMD, not that option i think first, focus to HID / I2C.
Infact maybe udev not load modules in correct order or miss again.
For alanyih, touchpad work, but its on AMD platform (Ryzen), that case think same modules need of my HP G7 Elitebook who have also Ryzen CPU.
I have good hope that maybl8 touchpad work.
Maybl8 can you please add manjaro kernel config in attachment to compare build-in modules ? Thanks
It's good achievement to have UEFI boot on recent laptop, but without touchpad not really great.

Hi alanyih,
Good catch, think push xorg-server update for libepoxy, not case.
It's fixed and i update libdrm-amdgpu to include amdgpu.ids
Maybl8, i see that link provide only package.
This link could be help me
https://gitlab.manjaro.org/packages/core/linux68 (but see linux510 could be help for diff).
Can you please try to use linux510 manjaro kernel to see if 5.x branch enough for your laptop.
Thanks
Offline
Not sure how to get the manjaro kernel config that you need.
I installed the 5.10 kernel
Linux Manjaro 5.10.215-1-MANJARO #1 SMP PREEMPT Sat Apr 13 14:27:02 UTC 2024 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Touchpad working with this kernel in manjaro.
Thanks
Offline
Hi maybl8,
In case config see here (same branch we use it)
https://gitlab.manjaro.org/packages/core/linux510/-/blob/master/config
Nice to read that on 5.10.215-MANJARO touchpad work, definitely we need find right conf.
I check quickly and see that for PINCTRL_ related to intel (*lake) is built-in not modules.
Offline
I'm sure you don't need this but does anything in this article help with troubleshooting the touchpad:
https://www.maketecheasier.com/fix-touchpad-not-working-linux/
After I boot can I run the xinput command? I don't think it worked when I tried it before.
Is it included in the .iso?
Offline
Hi Maybl8,
Yes i use this to find driver used for my touchpad, (help for i2c / hid stuff, but mis PINCTRL_AMD part)
example for my tuxedo
stan@tuxedo:~$ find /sys | grep drivers.*093A:0255
find: ‘/sys/kernel/tracing’: Permission denied
find: ‘/sys/kernel/debug’: Permission denied
find: ‘/sys/fs/pstore’: Permission denied

find: ‘/sys/fs/fuse/connections/178’: Permission denied
/sys/bus/i2c/drivers/i2c_hid_acpi/i2c-UNIW0001:00
In your case command should be :
[c]find /sys | grep drivers.*06CB:CD4F[/c]
[c]find /sys | grep drivers.*SYNA329A:00[/c]
For xinput, i rebuild iso to include them.

Since I cannot get keyboard to work correct. Example the letter a is not the letter a . It is hard to type something.
I took a pic of the xinput command. See attached.
Also here is the result of the find command on the Manjaro machine. I will post the result of find when I boot to slitaz next
[Manjaro demo]# find /sys | grep drivers.*06CB:CD4F
/sys/bus/hid/drivers/hid-multitouch/0018:06CB:CD4F.0002
[Manjaro demo]# find /sys | grep drivers.*SYNA329A:00
/sys/bus/i2c/drivers/i2c_hid/i2c-SYNA329A:00
Doing the find command on the slitaz iso returns nothing
Offline
Figured out my keyboard issue.
I had to select US
Logout and back in.
Another questions is there a way to install the iso to the hard drive on my laptop so I can have a version that I can edit and save config files. I would like to do more testing like getting wireless to work and other things.
Thanks
Offline
In case same me in begin.
On Ubuntu, see i2c_hid / hid-multitouch with [c]find /sys[/c], that why i add I2C / HID but seem PINCTRL_AMD miss part.
In case if we see nothing on /sys, think miss major part for I2C/GPIO detected in case PINCTRL.
Let's me check to rebuild kernel with PINCTRL as built-in.
Concerning install iso, it's same as rolling, tazinst available or install from tazpanel.
Just keep in mind don't support grub2 / UEFI at time.
To be exactly you can install grub2 but we don't have /boot/efi stuff
Offline
Maybe I should start another post for this.
I thought I would try to install to the laptop hard drive.
I created a 1GB partition and tried to install to it from the Live USB I booted to.
It says it can't find the partition.
I know it is there.
It sees /dev/sda
but not the /dev/sda1
see the screenshot I attached.

Hi maybl8,
Put new iso with new kernel with PINCTRL intel related built-in.
https://people.slitaz.org/~shann/slitaz-current-stuff/efitest/slitaz-current-core64.iso
USB has two partition
/dev/sda (raw,iso9660) for BIOS boot
/dev/sda1 (fat32) for EFI boot
root@tuxedo:/home/stan# mount /dev/sda /mnt
mount: /mnt: WARNING: device write-protected, mounted read-only.
root@tuxedo:/home/stan# ls /mnt
boot EFI index.html md5sum README
root@tuxedo:/home/stan# umount /mnt
root@tuxedo:/home/stan# mount /dev/sda1 /mnt
root@tuxedo:/home/stan# ls /mnt
EFI
But tazinst would like partition instead raw disk.
Need check for add this.

Sorry still no touchpad.

This laptop also has a touchscreen. I think that is the ELAN part.
Could that be part of the issue. I am just grasping at straws.
Sorry I cannot be of more help.
I'll keep trying as you send me stuff to try.
I hate to see you spend so much time on my one laptop.
My main goal with your OS was to have it running persistent on a USB drive.
I have allot of os's running on usb drives to test them with.
It is kind of a hobby project of mine.
I built a script to install Arch on a USB .
You can see my script here:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=2106581#p2106581
I have modified it a little since I posted this.

Hi maybl8,
, think two commands of find not work on slitaz ?
[c]find /sys | grep drivers.*06CB:CD4F[/c]
[c]find /sys | grep drivers.*SYNA329A:00[/c]
In case not specially time for your laptop, hope could be help other user with similar hardware.
If understand, on your usb, you already have other OS, in case bootloader also ?
You can use tazinst cli with tips to use "usb" install type.
When you are on slitaz live, open sakura terminal and do root with "su -"
Create install-nvme file with this content
# SliTaz Installer setup file.

# Install type : [cdrom|usb|iso|web|weboot]

Now we do create necessary stuff for tazinst :
mkdir /home/boot
mount /dev/sda /mnt
cp /mnt/boot/bzImage /home/boot/
cp /mnt/boot/rootfs.gz /home/boot/
umount /mnt
Install SliTaz on /dev/nvme0n1p10 
tazinst-stable install install-nvme
Adjust your bootloader config to have entry for SliTaz :
set root=(your_nvme_partition)
linux /boot/vmlinuz-5.10.215-slitaz64 root=/dev/nvme0n1p10 ro
Suggest to use tazinst-stable-msrv in attachment, i use it for install SliTaz on mini computers i use as server (nvme disk and grub2).
Put in as /usr/sbin/tazinst-stable (i add .txt extension unless is deny)
Offline
I created the script
Mounted the dirs
When I ran tazinst-stable install install-nvme
I got
tazinst-stable not found
Offline
I'm trying to use the usb live from the iso you created for me to test.
It doesn't have a tazinst-stable on it. it only has tazinst file.
