I've been using devuan since sometime last year on an old eeepc
netbook, maybe 5 years old. It just worked. Could it be that your
hardware is too new? I find its touchpad to be something of a nuisance.
I touch it by accident and things go strange. I prefer to use my USB
wireless mouse.

David Hare had success with a backported kernel.

I've had problems like this a few times with new hardware. My ten year
old server wouldn't do X when it was new. Regular updates, and it
worked fine after about six months.

Mind you, as a server it was OK that it only did text terminals for a
while.
