Apple touchpad not working after hibernation

English Hardware
#1

Dear friend users,

I have recently set up opensuse leap 42.1 with KDE plasma on my macbook air 6,2. Everything works fine except the following two seemingly minor problems.

After waking up from hibernation, my trackpad stops working. I need to reboot my system to make it work again. The result of the command

synclient

stays the same whether the touchpad is working or not. Following advices from https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/500787-Touchpad-dead-after-sleep-lid-close, I tried reinstalling xf86_input_synaptics forcibly, but nothing has been changed.

uname -a

gives

Linux linux-mpwh 4.1.13-5-default #1 SMP PREEMPT Thu Nov 26 16:35:17 UTC 2015 (49475c3) x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Are there any options for me to try? Thank you very much.

Hi
How are you hibernating, just letting the system do this, or via
command, if so what is the command?

I wonder if it’s the actual module(s) rather than synclient.

What do the following command show;


lsusb
cat /proc/acpi/wakeup

I just let the system hibernate, i.e., via plasma desktop menu. I also tried to hibernate by ‘systemctl hibernate’ in konsole, and the result was the same.

  1. ‘lsusb’

Hi
Assuming it’s like my MacBook3,1 with openSUSE Leap 42.1, I have appletouch being used by the touchpad/keyboard (I don’t use KDE or Hibernate).

When you come out of hibernate, does the following work?


rmmod appletouch
modprobe appletouch

The above is assuming the output from the following shows appletouch;


 lsmod |grep apple

I probably need to have a go at hibernating with GNOME.

It may also pay to check the log as it may have some info;


journalctl -x |grep "PM:\|upower"
