Lenovo ideapad 3 touchpad

[Ed_P]

I booted Porteus 5.0rc3 on a Lenovo ideapad and it booted fine and supported the notebook's wifi system but the mouse pointer doesn't work! 1st time I've encountered this that I recall. Suggestions?

hi Ed_P try if work for you

I managed to solve it by editing the file /etc/default/grub and appending the command "pci=nocrs" after the the command "quiet" to the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT argument leaving it like this

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="loglevel=3 quiet pci=nocrs"

Right after editing that file, I ran again the grub configuration using this command

sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

[Ed_P]

beny You are the man. "pci=nocrs" did the trick, when I added it to the USB drive's /boot/syslinux/porteus.cfg file's APPEND line.

Thank you beny.

"libinput list-devices" is new to me and looks interesting. What about the "xinput output" command mentioned in the link. I get

hi Ed_P https://slackware.uk/slackware/slackwar ... 6_64-1.txz if you have this libs on:
guest@porteus:~$ xinput
⎡ Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)]
⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ Logitech USB-PS/2 Optical Mouse id=8 [slave pointer (2)]
⎣ Virtual core keyboard id=3 [master keyboard (2)]
↳ Virtual core XTEST keyboard id=5 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Power Button id=6 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Power Button id=7 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ AT Translated Set 2 keyboard id=9 [slave keyboard (3)]
is a desktop computer so the log is simple.

I have the libs but no xinput.
