Hello y'all,
I recently installed Debian 12 on my Laptop. So far, most things work fine but two. After wandering through countless discussions and forums, I must admit that I am now at my wits end.
My specs are:
Operating System: Debian GNU/Linux 12
KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.103.0
Qt Version: 5.15.8
Kernel Version: 6.1.0-31-amd64 (64-bit)
Graphics Platform: Wayland
Processors: 8 × Intel® Core™ i5-1035G4 CPU @ 1.10GHz
Memory: 7.5 GiB of RAM
Graphics Processor: Mesa Intel® Iris® Plus Graphics
Manufacturer: Acer
Product Name: Spin SP314-54N
System Version: V1.13
It is a Notebook, so I have a Touchscreen and a corresponding Pen.
I am currently trying to get my touchpad to work. I've managed for it to be shown in my Settings (first it was nit detected at all) but I didn't get any further.
In my Settings, the Laptop registers a Touchpad after I copied the file "40-libinput.conf" from usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d to etc/X11/xorg.conf.d.
I then stumbled across this forum post: https://wiki.debian.org/SynapticsTouchpad but either I do not understand it or it did not work.
Using the first command, I get: N: Name="SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad"
However, in my etc/X11/xorg.conf.d I cannot find a synaptics.conf file.
If you need anything else, I am glad to provide you with more information.
As far as I understood the forums, Touchscreen support does not come natively, is currently worked on and most of the time you have to try workarounds. Is that correct?
Thank you in advance!
