Hi
I installed LEAP 15.3 a week ago for work use and the touchpad on my Lenovo laptop does not work. It’s a dual boot system with Windows11, and under windows it just works fine.
I already tried to solve it, reading older posts on this forum, and it’s not very clear to me what are the steps to get this solved.
What info do you need from me pls?
Regards,
Welcome to openSUSE Forums. We will need to know the pertinent hardware details. To get that information, open a terminal and type the following commands
cat /proc/bus/input/devices
dmesg | egrep -i "input|firmware"
Copy the output and post here.
Note: In the forum editor there is a ‘#’ button for code. It provides [noparse]
...
[/noparse] tags that the posted output should be enclosed within for easier reading (preserves formatting).
This may be useful as well…

Hi,
Thanks for the swift support! And the results of the jury are…

You may need to try a more recent kernel…
https://www.reddit.com/r/openSUSE/comments/pgpyln/leap_153_with_a_newer_kernel/
sudo zypper addrepo -f https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Kernel:/stable:/Backport/standard Kernel:stable:backport
sudo zypper refresh
sudo zypper install --from Kernel:stable:backport kernel-default
then reboot.
You did not really explain where you detect that it is not working. Isn’t it already n your login screen? Or in the Desktop (when yes, which desktop environment)?
@Henk: The output confirms that the device is not found, and the OP appears to be using a Dell unifying receiver with a mouse.
It may well be that, as on this older Lenovo Laptop, the keyboard and Touch Pad are not USB devices.

And then, you’ll need to check if, your Desktop Environment has found the Touch Pad.
The touchpad device is usually connected via i8042 (I2C-type interface) hence the commands I already gave 
There is no point checking Xorg logs when the device is not enumerated in the kernel output.
Hi
when rebooting, I get an error message “you need to load kernel first” and cannot boot with the new kernel.
I checked in Yast / Multiversion packages and the new 5.17.5 was correctly installed.
Anything I’m overlooking here?
Hmmm – Here it’s picked up as expected –

OK, thanks. I was missing the information, but missed apparently that it is not recognized at all.
