Hello,
I'm experiencing an intermittent touchpad issue on Debian 13 "Trixie" and
would appreciate any guidance.
Device: HTIX5288:00 0911:5288 (Hantick)
Kernel: 7.0.9-1-liquorix-amd64
Session: Wayland
Problem:
The touchpad works intermittently. Sometimes it doesn't work at all after
boot. Other times it works partially ? cursor moves only with two fingers,
not with one finger. Three-finger scroll works when partially functional. Tap-to-click is unreliable.
Already tried (none worked):
Kernel parameters: i8042.nopnp, pci=nocrs, elantech_smbus=0
Module reload: modprobe -r i2c_hid_acpi && modprobe -r i2c_hid &&
modprobe i2c_hid && modprobe i2c_hid_acpi (works occasionally but not permanently)
Quirks via modprobe: i2c_hid_acpi quirks=0x8000 and hid_multitouch quirks=0x00000400
Kernels tested: stock Debian 13, 6.12 backports, Liquorix 7.0.9
systemd service to reload modules at boot
I've seen kernel patch discussions about this exact model regarding race conditions and MT_QUIRK_NOT_SEEN_MEANS_UP, reportedly merged in 6.13.3, but
the issue persists.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Gustavo
