Fedora 25 Trackpad Isues

I installed the latest Fedora 25 release on my Librem 13 and everything went fine, but then I installed the latest round of updates and now my cursor is pinned to the upper right corner of the screen! I have to either plug in a mouse or use two fingers to get anything done. Google isn’t very helpful, I’m guessing it has something to do with the switch to Wayland … Any troubleshoot advice?

That’s https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1405806 but I’m not sure if this is Fedora-specific or if it will happen to other distros as well. Pinning the kernel (with dnf version-lock) to 4.8.11 was the only way for me to ensure it keeps working.

I don’t know who to contact in Fedora to get this investigated…

Thanks for the quick response Jeff!

indolering, this commit is the cause of this:

Suggestion is to try manually to activate BYD protocol via sysfs:

echo -n “byd” > /sys/bus/serio/devices/serio1/drvctl
