ISSUE
Hi, haven’t experienced any issue with my laptop until today. It is a few months old Framework Laptop 13. This morning I powered down my laptop by selecting shut down from the menu and waiting for it to fully shut down before closing the lid. This evening I powered it back on and discovered that my touchpad is partly nonfunctional.
- two-finger scroll no longer works system-wide
- two-finger tap to right-click no longer works system-wide
- multi-finger gestures no longer work system-wide
- cursor movement works
- tap to left-click works
Here’s my system:

TROUBLESHOOTING
In Settings > Mouse & Touchpad I notice that trackpad settings are missing.
$ libinput list-devices shows me a device “ImExPS/2 Generic Explorer Mouse” I suspect is supposed to be the touchpad. When I display its details:
fedora~(:|✔) % sudo libinput list-devices | grep -A 10 "ImExPS/2 Generic Explorer Mouse"
Device: ImExPS/2 Generic Explorer Mouse
Kernel: /dev/input/event7
Group: 7
Seat: seat0, default
Capabilities: pointer
Tap-to-click: n/a
Tap-and-drag: n/a
Tap drag lock: n/a
Left-handed: disabled
Nat.scrolling: disabled
Middle emulation: disabled
I see tap settings are n/a. I’m suspecting that it’s not recognizing my touchpad as a touchpad but instead as a generic mouse.
Could this be a driver issue given that absolutely nothing has updated (at least not to my knowledge) since it was last working? Any other ideas what I could try?
fedora~(:|✔) % libinput --version
1.26.2
Thanks for any help!
