Hi,
When I power on and the gdm shows, I can't use the mouse and the
keyboard. The cursor stays in the middle of the screen no matter how
I move the mouse or press enter key to reach the password box. The
laptop has a touchscreen and it seems to be working. However, if I
login with touchscreen keyboard so that I can reach to the desktop,
the desktop inherits this same behaviour that I can't use the mouse
or the physical keyboard. But touchscreen is working in the gnome
desktop.
Instead of logging in, if I try to reach the shutdown menu from gdm,
I am able to reboot with touchscreen. After reboot, everything seems
to be working normal. I can use the mouse/touchpad and the keyboard
in both gdm and the gnome desktop. The touchscreen seems to be
working normally too.
I have been using the laptop with this issue for a month or so. I
tried another linux distribution, Fedora 23, yet I have the same
issue.
The laptop is a HP Pavilion with touchscreen, the video card is
Intel Bay Trail.
Best Regards
