Mouse/touchpad lost upon sleep mode, but not hibernation (Fujitsu Lifebook)

[Lady Owl]

Hi, I just installed MX Linux 23 KDE yesterday, and unsurprisingly, came across an issue I've had with other distros in the past as well (Kubuntu, Suse if I remember correctly, Bodhi, none were too recent) - and I've been too tired to find any solution whatsoever, but maybe this time... At least it isn't about some new hardware because this laptop is old.

So. Any time my laptop goes to sleep mode, I loose control of the mouse - it basically freezes wherever it happens to be on screen, no matter what I do on the touchpad. (If I do something with keyboard shortcuts, say closing a window, that does work, so the screen isn't all frozen.)
Restarting Linux does not get the mouse moving, I must restart the whole laptop. BUT interestingly, hibernation does not seem to do it! So I could just disable sleepmode I guess, and only use hibernation when needed, but a working sleep mode would be even better, if possible.

I already tried installing xserver-xorg-input-synaptics - unfortunately that didn't solve it.

Is there any other information that's relevant for this?
I'm suspecting driver issue, but I'm basically totally unused to dealing with this kind of stuff. I am also not comfortable with CLI, but can manage with guidance. (i.e. used to using linux in graphical mode, not tackling problems in it...)

[CharlesV]

First, I would test out a liquorix kernel. (6.4 or 6.5), and see if that resolves this. ( You can always revert to your non liquorix kernel. ( MX Package installer - search for liquorix and check the one to test then install.)

If this does not resolve it then...

When the mouse is 'frozen' in a terminal find your mouse xinput ID# like so:

Code: Select all

xinput

It will look something / sort of like this:

Code: Select all

$ xinput
⎡ Virtual core pointer                    	id=2	[master pointer  (3)]
⎜   ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer              	id=4	[slave  pointer  (2)]
⎜   ↳ ELAN07C2:00 04F3:3298 Mouse             	id=9	[slave  pointer  (2)]
⎜   ↳ ELAN07C2:00 04F3:3298 Touchpad          	id=10	[slave  pointer  (2)]
⎜   ↳ ELAN2513:00 04F3:4194                   	id=11	[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)]
    ↳ Video Bus                               	id=7	[slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ Power Button                            	id=8	[slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ Intel HID events                        	id=12	[slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ Intel HID 5 button array                	id=13	[slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ AT Translated Set 2 keyboard            	id=14	[slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ HP WMI hotkeys                          	id=15	[slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ ACPI Virtual Keyboard Device            	id=16	[slave  keyboard (3)]

Then, using that ID# you found from above ( id=9 and id=10 in my case )...do the following in a terminal:
for the mouse:

Code: Select all

xinput disable 9
xinput enable 9

for the Touchpad:

Code: Select all

xinput disable 10
xinput enable 10

try to disable / enable the mouse first, then if that works, the touchpad.

If this works, then I would setup a script and do these four commands ( the disable / enable for both mouse and touchpad ) when you log in, coming back from suspend.

@Lady Owl
I'm sure you know what you meant to say, but perhaps "pointer" instead of "mouse"?
I ask because:

I loose control of the mouse - it basically freezes wherever it happens to be on screen....

Restarting Linux does not get the mouse moving....

- and I've done this myself.

And if so, then CharlesV's specific examples won't work.

Good Luck!
