After several painstaking hours I finally got it working on Manjaro, so I wanted to share my experience for anyone else that is new to patching the kernel like me. This is my first time ever doing so.
I tried and tried to make this work on Ubuntu Budgie 20.10 following the guide by @Baq Domalaq (baq) but I just couldnt get the ubuntu kernel to build. Manjaro on the other hand was fairly painless. This only works for Manjaro 1. Clone the kernel repo for linux 5.8 # git clone https://gitlab.manjaro.org/packages/core/linux58.git 2. open the repo # cd ./linux58 3. Download the patch from #179 # wget https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1887190/+attachment/5418465/+files/0303-pinctrl-amd2.patch 4. Edit the PKGBUILD file and add '0303-pinctrl-amd2.patch' after the line that has '0303-pinctrl-amd.patch' 5. Update the checksums # updpkgsums 6. Build the package. This will take some time. You may be prompted for something about PREMPT. Choose CONFIG_PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY. # makepkg -s 7. Once it's done, you can install the package. # makepkg -i In my case, this broke the nvidia driver so I ended up uninstalling the nonfree driver and using the free driver instead. This can be done with the following commands. 8. Remove nonfree driver. Could also be video-nvidia-455xx # sudo mhwd -r pci video-nvidia-440xx 9. Install the free driver # sudo mhwd -i pci video-linux Also installing the free driver fixed the display brightness issue. Everything seems to be working for me now! In case anyone runs into any issues, this is the guide I followed to build the kernel. https://leduccc.medium.com/compiling-a-custom-linux- kernel-on-manjaro-f09aa103713f -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-input-libinput in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1887190 Title: MSFT Touchpad not working on Lenovo Legion-5 15ARH05 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/pop-os/+bug/1887190/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
