I recently purchased a Lenovo Ideapad Flex 5. I instantly removed Windows 11 Home and installed Ubuntu 23.04. Only problem: the trackpad isn't working. Ubuntu doesn't even recognize the trackpad, as you can see from the lsusb output below:
Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub
Bus 003 Device 004: ID 0bda:4853 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. Bluetooth Radio
Bus 003 Device 003: ID 1c7a:0576 LighTuning Technology Inc. EgisTec EH576
Bus 003 Device 002: ID 093a:2510 Pixart Imaging, Inc. Optical Mouse
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 30c9:0053 Luxvisions Innotech Limited Integrated Camera
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
I've tried other linux distros; same problem. The trackpad works fine in the BIOS menu however, so I know it's not a hardware issue. I've looked everywhere online and I can't find anything.
Edit
This question
is a duplicate but with no answer. Someone please help me, I really need this to work.
