Running XFCE. Touchpad is not listed in the Mouse page, so presumably the touchpad is broken?
Check if your keyboard has a disable touchpad button.
Verified
Check in the BIOS settings if there's a touchpad setting for smart. Sometimes that one doesn't work with Linux
No smart BIOS
Check in /proc/bus/input/devices to see if you can see your touchpad listed.
Directory is empty -- but also empty on similar system with working touchpad
Do you remember what the X config setting was that you had before?
Alas, no. I'll dig around, but I expect thst the bottom line is broken hardware.
Thanks.
