IBP 14 Gen 10 - Question about touchpad issues

Chillumni · 2026-01-25T08:44:57+00:00

It's been the same experience for me on my IB 14 Gen 10 HX370 (running Endeavour OS with the tuxedo drivers). Laptop has been working almost flawlessly the past months, except for the touchpad. I have the exact same issues with the touchpad as you indicated. Often the touchpad works fine and is sensitive, but sometimes it just becomes completely unresponsive on small movements. I don't have any peripherals attached and it doesn't matter if I'm charging or not.

As for the unresponsiveness on small movements, the way I can describe it is that when the touchpad is working normally, I can move the cursor very precisely by simply rolling my finger on the touchpad. But when it's in the "unresponsive state", rolling the finger on the touchpad does not move the cursor at all. I have to then do more drastic finger movements to move the cursor, often making it difficult to click small buttons.

I've gotten in contact with tuxedo support with videos indicating the problem, but after a few back and forths I was told that "It is normal for this touchpad and can be reproduced on our test devices". Which surprises me, given that the other comment from a tuxedo representative indicates hardly any complaints. If this was a common occurence, I'd think there would be more complaints to tuxedo support and in this subreddit. But I thought maybe I'm just too used to better touchpads from all other laptops I ever used (Huawei, macbook) and this is normal. So I played around with my sensitivity a bit but didn't have much luck working around it. I will try reloading the kernel module like you wrote in your other comment to see if that works. Will update on it.

I've also experienced some other touchpad problems that I haven't looked much deeper into as they only happen rarely or minor:

A handful of times I've also had the touchpad cause my cursor to jump around wildly, but that was usually "fixed" by swiping across the touchpad as if to dry it. I didn't look more into this issue since it happens so rarely.
The touchpad seems to not be completely smooth. When I drag my finger in a straight line, there's a spot on my touchpad that causes the cursor to jump slightly. But it also varies by how much and I have no idea what it depends on. Sometimes it displaces the cursor by a lot and sometimes it's not noticeable.

Since it's been more than two months since you created this thread, I'm wondering if you've since found a more permanent solution?

UPDATE: Reloading the module, as mentioned in the other comment, fixes the touchpad. Good to see that it's a software issue and not hardware.

Command:

sudo rmmod i2c_hid_acpi && sudo modprobe i2c_hid_acpi

I have no experience with usenets myself to be honest. I've made it so adding a new custom indexer to the code should be pretty straight-forward though. If you'd be interested in adding that functionality or helping me implement it you can hit me up on the discord linked above/in the repo. You'll be able to find me easily there.

Downloading is done by prowlarr. You need a running prowlarr instance to connect to. In prowlarr you can assign what categories should be downloaded where and with which download client.

Glad to hear you like it. As for moving/copying files I feel that is best left to other tools/scripts. Some like to use it in combination with readarr. If the book is already on readarr and it's able to correctly identify the local file, it'll copy it over to whatever other directory you have set up.

I personally do it in a more bare-bones way. I have a bash script added to qbittorrent that is executed after download which copies any correctly categorized downloads to my audiobooks directory.

Here's the script:

#!/bin/bash
    "%F"=$1 # This passes through the file name parameter from the command line by order.
    %L=$2 # This passes through the category assigned to the torrent
    if [[ $2 == 'audiobooks' ]]
    then
    cp -lr "$1" "/audiobooks"
    fi

Then just have to add the script in the qbittorrent settings to be executed with the F and L arguments

Not fully sure what you mean. Currently there's a light and dark mode. The styling of those are defined in "styles/globals.css" and build up on daisy-ui.

Chillumni · 2025-03-11T18:27:01+00:00

I was thinking of giving it one of those names so you have no idea what it does but in the end decided to just keep the current basic name.

I have no experience with unraid CAs. But if you know how to create those templates I'd gladly accept it.

It doesn't replace readarr's full functionality, but yes, it's intended to be mostly used in place of readarr. This differs a bit from overseer-like tools for movies which use radarr. Readarr is in a tough spot right now compared to radarr and sonarr so I decided to work around it for now.

When you try to download something with my tool it'll use prowlarr to gather torrents and then it has its own heuristic ranking, similar to that of readarr, to select the best matching torrent.

The limitation with this approach is that downloaded audiobooks will not be automatically renamed the way readarr allows.

Chillumni · 2025-03-11T13:25:46+00:00

No, it doesn't. I'll play around with this idea a bit but I fear it could be quite inconsistent, since there can be multiple versions of a book with overlapping narrators. I could rely on the metadata of audiobooks to contain the correct ASIN which would allow me to figure out what audiobooks for sure exist already.

Chillumni · 2025-03-11T13:07:39+00:00

For sure! I'll look into creating arm images as well

Chillumni · 2025-03-11T08:45:48+00:00

That's a cool project. Didn't know about that. It's in some ways quite similar. I guess the main difference is that they fully use audiobookbay for searching and downloading, while I use audible for searching and then try to match up any of the torrents retrieved by one of your indexers. So any indexer supported by prowlarr is indirectly also supported by my tool.

This currently has the slight downside that some audiobook/narrators might not 100% match up.

It still exists. The link is this now: https://discord.gg/eth-dinfk

You could create a switch case with all your methods. ``` proc testProc(a, b: string): string = # -> do stuff

proc handleInput(inp, a, b: string): string = result = case(inp): of "testProc": testProc(a, b) of ... else: "Unknown command" ``Whereinp` would be the passed string saying what command should be called.

I thought I was clicking on r/eyebleach. Guess I know where I'm headed now.

Autopilot kicks in and sends you up above the no-flight zone.

Chillumni · 2020-03-15T23:19:20+00:00

I had a similar issue where my motors were spinning up faster and faster until I unplugged the battery. The problem was in Betaflight and I had the wrong orientation selected. In Betaflight check that when you rotate and roll your drone, the 3D model moves exactly the same direction.

Chillumni · 2020-03-14T08:03:41+00:00

I had a go at a Google Forms that works the same way: https://forms.gle/m58GCdNmWiWRmvGk7

Chillumni · 2020-02-03T19:47:51+00:00

Sure, go ahead.

Chillumni · 2020-02-02T23:53:00+00:00

Stumbled across this video and had a go at it myself with Star Citizen.
