SUMMARY *** when I try to activate the keyboard backlight with my clevo notebook, the drivers for the touchpad are going lost. In standard installation the touchpad works fine. But when I activate the workaround to activate the backlights, the touchpad hangs. The touchpad isn't moving smooth anymore, it hangs. And the gestures (2 finger to scroll) are not working anymore, two-finger-gestures seems to be deleted (always until the next reboot) This occurs especially, when the system goes into susped mode. After coming up again, the touchpad reacts horrible laggy without gestures. When I reboot the system, the touchpad works fine, but after suspend mode, the same behaviour. *** This is the "modification" I did, after this, the touchpad does not work properly, everytime I suspend/reactivate it: SO strange, because without going into suspend, it works, but with suspend it fails.

This is a driver issue below any KDE code. It could be a bug in the Libinput drivers, or a bug caused by Tuxedo code, or a bug in Libinput triggered by some Tuxedo code. I would recommend that you ask for support from the Tuxedo people.
