Refracta problems on Ideapad laptop
I was planning to install Refracta 11.2 on a Lenovo Ideapad S210 Touch "netbook"; however, after the live system fully loads the touchpad and keyboard do not work at all. A USB mouse that I plugged in works, so that's an acceptable temporary workaround for the nonfunctional touchpad, but I still need a working keyboard to use the installer.
I also tried SystemRescue (formerly SystemRescueCD). With SystemRescue, the touchpad is also nonfunctional, but the keyboard works just fine. With a USB mouse plugged in, I was able to prepare the HDD by deleting all of the Windows partitions.
Anyone have any ideas as to how I should proceed?

Seeing that System Rescue actuallu finds the keyboard, look at what its logs have to say about it:
~$ sudo dmesg | grep -i keyboard
As to the touchpad, see what x11 has to say:
xinput list #if you don't have it you need to install it:
sudo apt install xinput
Please post your findings.
Best,
A.

Right, there is the working kb, as seen by SystemRescue.

There is the PixArt USB Optical Mouse and what SystemRescue sees as a touch screen.
I assume that there's no such thing, just a touchpad.
Right?
I've had a quick look around and it seems that the Elan touchpads are a rather troublesome thingy for Linux.
Please do this:
sudo dmesg | grep -i elan to see *if* dmesg has something to say about the touchpad.
and
cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep -i "input driver" to see what driver SystemRescue uses for the kb and post the results.
Best,
A.

Re: Refracta problems on Ideapad laptop
I had to put this project on the back burner for awhile, but recently started working on it again. I went ahead and installed the latest Refracta (based on Daedalus) on this laptop. The keyboard seems to work just fine, but the touchpad doesn't work, and none of the solutions I have tried have worked. Investigating further, I have discovered that the touchpad isn't even being detected.
Another person with this problem has looked into the code and believes that many of these Lenovo laptops have a bug in their ACPI firmware. I suspect that he may be correct because I have noticed that, when using Refracta, the screen never sleeps. It is always on, even when I have not used the laptop for fifteen or twenty minutes (or more).
Since I basically reached a dead end on this (at least for now), I decided to see what Windows could tell me about this touchpad. Using a device information utility that I found in the directory for the touchpad driver I obtained this information:
