>From the command line, I don't know how to do it, I use usually the Mainline Kernel updater's one fork like https://github.com/bkw777/mainline (see installation guide there).
You can check the name of the kernels i.e. here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu_version_history groovy - 20.10 bionic - 18.04 focal - 20.04 xenial - 16.04 then you install the latest RC version from it, make sure it starts with the same numbers. After a restart, the newest version will run. To see RC you need to go to the Settings and enable prerelease or proposed versions or uncheck Hide unstable RC versions, I don't know the exact name of it. Check #357 when you testing, probably you will face with the same issue, that the right physical click doesn't work as it should be (and some gestures). If that's that case then the test failed, if it works everything properly, then success. How to run the older kernel, that's I don't know, you need to check with google. Also, if you can't search for an issue in google, I suggest to not even try to test it, because RC releases can screw up anything and you may be stuck with a buggy machine that you need to reinstall. Do it on your own risk. I also suggest doing a snapshot with timeshift from your system before you start the process, in case of problem you will be able to restore hopefully to that point your system.

So we can expect kernel v5.11 to fix this issue without any additional work. Before the release of v5.11, you are suggested to use #189 to save your touchpad. Note that for distributions like Ubuntu and Fedora, the pinctrl-amd driver is built into the initramfs. So you have to rebuild the initramfs after replacing the old module with new one. On Fedora, run `sudo dracut --force`; On ubuntu, run `sudo update-initramfs -u`. The complete solution is three patches, - 47a0001436352c9853d72bf2071e85b316d688a2 ("pinctrl: amd: remove debounce filter setting in IRQ type setting") - 06abe8291bc31839950f7d0362d9979edc88a666 ("pinctrl: amd: fix incorrect way to disable debounce filter") - 8dcb7a15a585b6d0fee15751ce11d7a68cfedd56 ("gpiolib: acpi: Take into account debounce settings") The first two patches has reached the stable tree. If the last one is also backported to LTS kernel, you won't need to install kernel 5.11. But I don't know when this will happen. Original bug report =================== Hello The MSFT touchpad of this Lenovo Legion-5 15ARH05 laptop is not reacting at all (pointer and click never move when touchpad is touched). This has been reported by other users in various websites, with various linux systems including other Ubuntu systems, but I saw no launchpad bug so I post one. Example of websites covering the issue : - https://askubuntu.com/questions/1253830/lenovo-legion-5-touchpad (exactly the same laptop) - https://www.linux.org/threads/lenovo-legion-5-touchpad.29536/ (similar laptop) xinput indentifies it as MSFT0001:00 04F3:3140 Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)] ⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)] ⎜ ↳ MSFT0001:00 04F3:3140 Touchpad id=17 [slave pointer (2)] ⎜ ↳ MSFT0001:00 04F3:3140 Mouse id=16 [slave pointer (2)] ⎜ ↳ ITE Tech.

It does not help, but I can confirm what was reported on askubuntu by another user : the touchpad does work on Windows.
