I'm compiling a kernel just for learning purpose, and I almost get all things working, bluetooth, hdmi, usb, card reader, webcam, wifi... etc. But I can't make touchpad works, all that I know about it is...

xinput:

⎡ Virtual core pointer                          id=2    [master pointer  (3)]
⎜   ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer                id=4    [slave  pointer  (2)]

    ↳ AT Translated Set 2 keyboard              id=13   [slave  keyboard (3)]

So this is basically all that I know about it, lspci -k doesn't show the touchpad, and lsmod just list two modules related i2c_hid and hid_multitouch I've tested the others disabling them and seeing if it was related if touch. And this is the latest config file that I compiled and I don't know how to get support for this touch, I already enabled everything related with i2c, usb, hid that have elan, elantech, synaptics, designware and nothing worked.

After reading about i2c I find out what I was missing, basically:

CONFIG_X86_INTEL_LPSS
PINCTRL
CONFIG_MFD_TPS68470
CONFIG_I2C_DESIGNWARE_CORE
CONFIG_I2C_DESIGNWARE_PLATFORM
CONFIG_I2C_DESIGNWARE_SLAVE

  • also multitouch and i2c_hid.
