tl;dr still no luck; poking my understanding of the other threads though… we’ll see. maybe a hardware issue afterall…
There are also some suggestions in the thread here around having the right libinput version: (SOLVED, sort of)Touchpad Not Working Fully
- wrt libinput version: i’m at
1.18.1-1(pacman, this distro being manjaro) - There’s a work around posted in that thread, to bring in a
local-overrides.quirksfile, but it doesn’t work for me- I’ve posted on that thread to see if folks have ideas…
To confirm that it’s not a hardware issue, could you try running an Ubuntu 21.04 or Fedora 34 Respin live USB?
- I cannot boot to USB any longer, no matter what I try, because of this bug
- I’ve commented over there on the current workaround proposed
thanks for continuing to reply here, nrp!
