Thanks everyone, 4.17.2 seems to fix the problem. Did not need any acpi
GRUB parameters and unblacklisted i2c-hid without any problems.
I now have touchpad control!
To anyone who runs into this problem here is the solution:
- get the prerequisits: sudo apt install git fakeroot build-essential
ncurses-dev xz-utils libssl-dev bc
- Download the source for kernel 4.17.2 on kernel.org.
- Extract the tar.xz file in a folder of your choosing with tar -xJf.
- Go in the extracted folder and copy your current configuration which is in
/boot/ with `cp /boot/config-$(uname -r) ./.config` (Might need to be root)
- run `make menuconfig`, save the config to .config and exit.
- run `make -j <numberofavailablecpucores>` (if you forget -j it will take for
ever)
- run `make modules_install -j <numberofavailablecpucores>`
- run `make install -j <numberofavailablecpucores`
If everything goes correctly, initramfs and grub should get updated
automatically, if not:
- run `update-initramfs -c -k 4.17.2`
- run `update-grub`
Kernel was now installed correctly. Make sure i2c-hid is not blacklisted
and reboot.
Hope this helps someone!
