Ok, SO...

A neighbour, decide to give me his ideapad flex 4, after seriously contemplating suicide rather than continue using win10.

I replaced it with a thinkpad and Ali's Big Daddy PCLOS roll. He's very happy, his employer has NO idea Bob's sudden increase in productivity has anything to do with linux. So all is well.

I have cleansed the ideapad of the diseased demon and installed Big Daddy PCLOS. All is well expect the touch screen doesn't work. Anyone know of any packages I need to install? I seem to have all of them.

Until the ideas (pun intended) begin rolling in, I'll continue my research.

Thanks in advance,

Kate The Great and Terrible.

What does dmesg say, what lsusb and what shows up in /dev/input ?

Also, what kernel version is installed? You may need 5.6 or later. It seems that the driver for the elan touchpads present in some ideapad models made it into the kernel with that version.

Thanks in advance,

Kate The Great and Terrible. I have never had a touch screen to test. There may be a driver missing which is why it's not being picked up as a HID. All I see in synaptic is x11-driver-input-evtouch and x11-driver-input-fpit and tslib there is xinput calibrator as well. Alie

Your friend needs a change of life/work. No more be slave to the Man!

Anyway, they will eventually discover the change in OS, once employers recognize that first, something seems "different" but they cannot put their finger on it; and second (the red flag), productivity has increased dramatically.

To increase productivity so sharply will make others look bad. This cannot be tolerated.

Your friend would be well advised to scale back productivity to its usual low expectations. Spend most of the day goofing off instead, then about for about an hour or two, right before quitting time, actually do some work, so that your friend's output will seem normal and fit in with that of co-workers.
