Question Touchscreen works only on live USB -- Lenovo Yoga 12


Hello everybody, I hope someone could help me.

I have a Lenovo Yoga 12 convertible laptop with Windows 10 and everything works fine (touchpad, trackpoint, touchscreen and stylus). I decided to install Linux Fedora (v.32 kernel 5.8) parallel to Windows since it looks the best distro for convertibles.

When it started from live USB the touchscreen worked fine, so I installed it onto the hard drive. When the installation was done I rebooted it and found out that it is not working.

The touchscreen device is listed in
Code:
/proc/bus/input/devices
as "SYNAPTICS Synaptics Touch Digitizer V04" with event handler "mouseX", both on live and on hard-disk. The command
Code:
cat /dev/input/mice
works fine on live (all inputs are read) but on hard-disk the touchscreen input is missing.

Is there something I am missing?

At a wild guess, the driver module?

If you know your screen, or find the screen by use of 'lspci' or 'lsusb' you can go looking for it. Even if they give you the 4 letter hex codes, you can find them. They're information on Manufacturerevice.

Knock knock. Somebody is trying to be helpful here.

What list? What lists is it not on? Do you want to give a lot of detail here, or will I just get lost?
