Fortunately, I didn’t have any installation issues.

I don’t really get what the workaround is supposed to be; his post is kinda hard to read.

The workaround I currently use is to rmmod the i2c module, sleep and resume, then modprobe it again. Not sure why but that enables the touchpad, until reboot at least. The physical button (press down) still doesn’t work though.

Oh, too bad.

After a reboot the touchpad suddenly started working. Then, after another reboot, it did not work anymore. No idea what happened there.

In any case, ‘clicking’ the touchpad by pressing down doesn’t seem to work…

I did not find a solution yet for the popping noise, other than disabling sound altogether by removing snd-hda-intel. What is interesting is that the popping did not occur in the installer (live CD) of Antergos, but it did after installing.

EDIT: The popping noise was caused by the power saving mode of snd-hda-intel. The solution was to disable sound power saving in /etc/default/tlp. More info: https://askubuntu.com/questions/457910/strange-noise-in-headphones-when-no-sound-is-played

The only issue left is the hardware button of the touchpad. I can click using the touchpad by tapping on it, but pressing it physically down to click does not work. I think the buttons are not recognised.

Any luck with these issues?

I just put Antergos on my Cube Thinker and I have the two issues described above: the touchpad doesn’t work (the touchscreen does, however) and I have the annoying periodic popping noises.

In dmesg I find the following error about the touchpad:

[ 1050.583436] i2c_hid i2c-SYNA3602:00: failed to reset device.
[ 1056.769544] i2c_hid i2c-SYNA3602:00: failed to reset device.

[ 1070.156541] i2c_hid: probe of i2c-SYNA3602:00 failed with error -61

I’m running Linux 4.12. Removing and reloading the i2c kernel module (as described above) doesn’t have any effect.

Did you solve the popping noises?
