I recently moved to Linux Mint 20 from windows 10. Everything except touchpad is working fine.

System: Kernel: 5.4.0-40-generic x86_64 bits: 64 compiler: gcc v: 9.3.0 Desktop: Cinnamon 4.6.6 wm: muffin dm: LightDM Distro: Linux Mint 20 Ulyana base: Ubuntu 20.04 focal Machine: Type: Laptop System: FUJITSU product: LIFEBOOK A514 v: N/A serial: Chassis: type: 10 serial: Mobo: FUJITSU model: FJNBB3A serial: UEFI [Legacy]: FUJITSU // Phoenix v: Version 2.07 date: 07/03/2015

These are the things i have tried till now.

 xinput list
⎡ Virtual core pointer                      id=2    [master pointer  (3)]
⎜   ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer                id=4    [slave  pointer  (2)]
⎜   ↳ SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad                id=13   [slave  pointer  (2)]
⎜   ↳ PixArt USB Optical Mouse                  id=10   [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)]
    ↳ Fujitsu FUJ02E3                           id=7    [slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ Video Bus                                 id=8    [slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ Power Button                              id=9    [slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ FJ Camera: FJ Camera                      id=11   [slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ AT Translated Set 2 keyboard              id=12   [slave  keyboard (3)]

I couldn't find any setting related to touchpad in BIOS. The enable touch pad is ON in System Settings.

Tried installing below packages

xserver-xorg-input-libinput 
xserver-xorg-input-evdev 
xserver-xorg-input-mouse
xserver-xorg-input-synaptics

I tried live boot of Ubuntu also, which too have the same issue.

  • I just got the same problem today. Then I did sudo apt update; sudo apt dist-upgrade -y and reboot. Everything start to work!
