If your touchpad stops working, try these steps. I even imported the deprecated 50conf files that are no longer in use, as referenced in the arnold the bat site. In the Device section, select Touchpad (or Touchpad and mouse). I've only seen the trackpad resurface twice, and this hasn't occured since I dusted off my copy-pasta terminal skillz otherwise i'd dump some logs. Switch to the Touchpad tab (or Device settings if the tab is absent). Literally, have had my OCD triggered, but now that I've tried this device with lubuntu, ubuntu, other chromium builds as well as bliss OS I am feeling like this touchpad isn't playing nice with the current linux kernel.ĭell Hotkeys could be an issue too as I see them appear on evtest, but other than I guess wiping the drive I don't understand how live boot saw the drivers for this bugger then upon install we lost them, and then also don't understand how I never see synaptics drivers appear on evtest. Enable via Mouse Properties Press the Windows + R keys on your keyboard. In this video about how to fix touchpad on Dell laptop Windows 10, we show you ways to resolve issues when your Touchpad is not working or acting strangely. This is after I hunted & followed all of the steps that the awesome super hero Forrest Smith has recommended personally as well as curated in these forums. I updated the bios last night on the Inspiron but unfortunately found that it didn't offer any additional settings concerning the trackpad.
