    Sorry, I don’t check in here often.

    There’s a problem when resetting the touchpad device. Mine does it too on every boot now though I swear it once worked. I’ve found that modprobe -r i2c_hid && modprobe i2c_hid AFTER the first sleep and resume will prod it back into a working state. (Possibly remove the module before sleep, then load after resume.) From then on it works normally even through sleep.

    When I dug deeper I saw a patch intended to fix a similar problem: ‘HID: i2c-hid: Add quirk for sleep before reset’. I only tried adjusting the usleep range but it didn’t help. For now I can live with the workaround and wait for someone to find a way to perform a reliable reset in i2c-hid.

    Ubuntu 17.04 is running on my new Thinker.

    I first checked out the live USB and saw a couple of issues: 1. no touchpad (i2c-SYNA3602:00 failed with error -61) and 2. similar fingerprint sensor failure (which I don’t really care about). I bought the laptop solely for Linux anyway so I installed over the existing Windows partitions.

    Fixing the SYNA sensor issue and getting a working touchpad turned out to be easy. I just had to install the next Linux version (v4.11) from the kernel PPA.
