Trackpad issue after update

Hello,
I have an AMD 13 (7040) laptop running fedora 42 and firmware 3.05. My trackpad no longer works, I’m guessing it’s a software issue. It was working fine then I updated, rebooted, and no trackpad.

I ran:
dnf update

I also ran:
usermod -a -G dialout <username>

to use a pi pico. After adding my user to the dial out group I needed to reboot. On restarting the trackpad no longer works.

Is there a way to see if the trackpad is recognised?

If i run:
lshw

nothing obvious pops up… but I might be looking at it an not recognise it?
Thanks for your help,
Craig

I just ran lshw on my AMD framework 13 laptop (under Arch Linux) and these are the entries for the touchpad:

Hi Tom,

Great, thanks!
I don’t thave those… which adds weight to the idea it’s a software problem and not hardware?

Thanks,

An update yesterday fixed it. I think it was kernal related?
