PS/2 touchpad broken in 4.2.0-rc1 #8301

Closed adrelanos closed 1 year ago

adrelanos commented 1 year ago

Qubes OS release

4.2.0-rc1

Brief summary

PS/2 touchpad broken.

Steps to reproduce

Install Qubes 4.2.0-rc1 and try using the touchpad.

Expected behavior

Functional touchpad.

Actual behavior

Broken touchpad.

Additional information

Was functional in Qubes R4.1.

Using USBVM. (This was OK in R4.1 too.)

But the touchpad is not an internal USB touchpad. It much be PS/2. This is because it was functional in Qubes R4.1 previously too, because it was functional along with the internal keyboard while USBVM was shutdown (while USB connected mice was dysfunctional as expected when USBVM is shutdown).

Debugging

How to debug this?

journalctl doesn't show any error related to touchpad, pad, touch, mouse, mice. Neither xorg log showing any errors. xinput doesn't show the device.

Have any changes been made in Qubes R4.2 which might result in the disabling of the internal PS/2 touchpad?

Qubes dom0 testing updates fixed this issue.

Why it happened or how it was fixed, I don't know.
