Description Max Schaefer 2024-06-10 05:01:38 UTC
User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.15; rv:126.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/126.0
Build Identifier: 

I just saw the new OpenSUSE Aeon release and gave it a go on my Chuwi MiniBook X, interestingly the screen is rotated right by default for the first time on Linux (must be a newer kernel) but unfortunately my keyboard and trackpad don't work at all. Very odd as they've been working everywhere else :'(

When I tried MicroOS a few weeks back the screen wasn't rotated right (had to apply a kernel param from here: https://github.com/sonnyp/linux-minibook-x) but everything else worked perfect.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot OpenSUSE Aeon RC2 on MiniBook X
Actual Results:  
Keyboard & trackpad don't work

Expected Results:  
Working keyboard and trackpad

As discussed in telegram, please provide the following info:

- output of journalctl
- output of dmesg
- install libibput-tools in a rootful distrobox and monitor the output of libinput debug-events while using the mouse and keyboard

Without this information we're not able to identify where the issue might be, so leaving the bug as unconfirmed meanwhile

Hi @Richard Brown,

I have found that my laptop has a firmware level issue with ACPI that causes this issue, it is not related to OpenSUSE and installing another OS after also triggered this (until I disconnect and reconnect the battery).

Will close this and do appreciate your help - did use the logs you mentioned but ultimately the issue was deeper (and hard to find!)

Have also swapped to Aeon and it's awesome - love the minimalism and experience so far!
