Hi,

Can I ask you back to my oiriginal issue? Installation media issues were worked around anyway.
Using chimarera I updated in the meanwhile, kernel, etc. but I still have no working touchpad, a hassle on a small Ultrabook the goal of which is to be portable.

I wonder if the issue is at kernel-level or at Xorg-level

I am worried that I continue to see in the kernel messages this:
[ 3259.860388] psmouse serio1: bad data from KBC - timeout
[ 3259.862378] psmouse serio1: bad data from KBC - timeout
[ 3259.864383] psmouse serio1: bad data from KBC - timeout
[ 3259.866390] psmouse serio1: bad data from KBC - timeout
[ 3259.868340] psmouse serio1: bad data from KBC - timeout

psmouse could well be my touchpad, no?

Somebody off-list sent me a script by Steve Litt, which I did run and does not help, giving this output:

diagnostic devid =
diagnostic scratchline=Device Enabled (175): 1
diagnostic proptext =Device Enabled#

no devid is found!

I swear there was a touchpad, now it is totally gone ! I am puzzled.


I am using libinput for xorg, since synaptics when installed has no cursor working at all, not even the external mouse :)

However I noticed checking the XFCE mouse&touchpad panel
