Well I just installed the Liquorix Kernel through apt like on the webpage and after rebooting (and selecting the default Pop_os kernel in systemd-boot) the kernel was loaded and the touchpad isn't working for some reasons.

OS: Pop_os 20.04

I found the device in multiple commands.

I get

Also I don't know how to disable the kernel because in Systemd-boot I only see Pop_os current kernel and oldkernel

Hi Gladox114,

I just released an update that should fix your issue (in the next 2 hours pending build times). Last release I merged some HID/DesignWare patches that reduce power consumption under use, but it looks like some touch pads/screens malfunction with these enhancements.

Jan reverted the patches in upstream Zen Kernel but I hadn't released an update yet. Fortunately there's some other worthwhile updates this time around so I just spun out a new release.

5.7.0-8.2 should resolve your touchpad issues. Let me know if it doesn't.

The following is a random hack and should not be added to any kernel under any circumstance. Check my post later for context on where it came from

Hello same issue here with 6.0.0-10-1-liquorix-amd64

Maybe this patch:

with which I could solve the issue on Ubuntu, can be easily fitted to that kernel

Thanks for reading

Do not post random patches to the forum without any context of where they came from. The one you linked is a hack that was quickly shot down here: bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=218003#c33

The correct fix entered 6.5.10, per commit: git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/?h=v6.5.10&id=3256ad9bb4ce357a0ff686dd0354d020e8af6bab

Also, all kernels aside from the latest are COMPLETELY UNSUPPORTED. I"ll add a blurb to your comment that the patch you posted is dangerous an should not be used under any circumstance.
