My computer has started registering a false positive switch to tablet mode, which causes the keyboard and mouse to be unusable. This requires closing the lid and reopening it to get the computer to wake again in tablet mode.
When I first installed, the sensor did not work at all. I had to extract some firmware from the Windows driver and place it in the correct directory for Linux. This worked beautifully until it stopped after an update. I noticed some new files in that same location. I believe the updater has updated to a generic firmware that doesn’t work as well with my hardware.
I started working with Gemini Pro 3 to resolve the issue, and it suggested to rename the newer firmware to see if this resolves the problem. I will try that and, if it succeeds, I will continue with the bot using the prompt below in order to disable updating for this file.
Prompt to resume troubleshooting:
I am back after rebooting my HP 2-in-1 running EndeavourOS. I followed your instructions to fix the keyboard freezing issue caused by the firmware conflict in `/lib/firmware/intel/ish/`.
**Specific actions taken:**
1. I renamed the system-provided file `ish_lnlm_12128606.bin.zst` (dated Jan 10) to `.bin.zst.bak` to force the kernel to use my manually installed `.bin` file (dated Nov 10).
2. Since `mkinitcpio` was missing, I used `sudo dracut-rebuild` to regenerate the boot images.
3. I have now rebooted.
**Next Steps:**
1. How do I verify via terminal which specific firmware file the kernel actually loaded?
2. If this fixes the problem, how do I prevent the next system update (`pacman -Syu`) from simply reinstalling the `.zst` file and breaking this again?
