Touchpad seems configured, cat /proc/bus/input/devices:

I: Bus=0011 Vendor=0002 Product=000a Version=0063 N: Name="TPPS/2 Elan TrackPoint" P: Phys=isa0060/serio1/input0 S: Sysfs=/devices/platform/i8042/serio1/input/input5 U: Uniq= H: Handlers=mouse0 event4 B: PROP=21 B: EV=7 B: KEY=70000 0 0 0 0 B: REL=3 

cat /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/40-libinput.conf:

Section "InputClass" Identifier "libinput touchpad catchall" MatchIsTouchpad "on" MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*" Driver "libinput" EndSection 

xinput list:

⎡ Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)] ⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)] ⎜ ↳ TPPS/2 Elan TrackPoint id=12 [slave pointer (2)] 

but the touchpad isn't functioning. (Both trackpoint and USB mouse work.) System details, lshw includes:

    Do you happen to have a dual-boot system (Windows) or a LiveCD/USB? Does the touchpad function in the LiveOS/Window. If it does work in another OS, we've ruled out a hardware failure. Commented Jun 25, 2024 at 21:28
  • @eyoung100 I don't immediately have that option available, unfortunately. My best guess: It's a new laptop, the touchpad isn't supported. Commented Jun 26, 2024 at 8:41

    In that case do you mind providing a link to the laptop by including it in your question along with the relevant sections of a tool like lshw or lspci? Commented Jun 26, 2024 at 15:31
  • I've added what seems relevant from the former (output is long), and entire of latter. Commented Jun 26, 2024 at 16:24
  • I looked up i8042 at Linus Torvald's Github Kernel Repository, which means that trackpad is only being detected as a plain mouse. It may still be supported, but we need to load the proper kernel module or driver for that. Searching for your device yielded this post over at AskUbuntu. Let us know if that solves it. Here's the relevant package Commented Jun 26, 2024 at 16:49
