Description:
The touchpad of my Dell XPS 15 9570 worked flawlessly with Plasma desktop up to kernel 4.20. After upgrading to kernel 5.0 the tap-to-click and the scrolling with two fingers functions stopped working. The settings in KDE KCM are ignored. I tried to boot with LTS kernel 4.19 and with this version the touchpad works as expected. Additional info: * package version(s) linux-ck-skylake 5.0.5-1 linux-lts 4.19.34-1 * config and/or log files etc. * link to upstream bug report, if any Steps to reproduce: 1) install kernel 5.0 and Plasma dektop, boot and try to click with a tap on the touchpad: it should not work. 2) boot with LTS kernel 4.19 and try agai: it should work |

I played a bit with KCM settings and suddenly the touchpad began
to work again as expected. I don't remember what I did exactly,
but I think it's noteworthy that today I updated the kernel to
5.0.8. Maybe the issue has been fixed in upstream kernel.
I spoke too quick. After a reboot the touchpad does not work
again. I filed a bug report to KDE:
