Touchpad of my laptop stopped working after latest set of updates. It is one of those Numpad cum touchpad in Asus Zenbook. The Numpad functionality never worked, but the touchpad was working fine until the update. I tried with a Manjaro livecd and it detects the touchpad fine.
One weird observation is that the touchpad is not detected after cold booting, but it is detected after rebooting. So I am forced to boot it and then again reboot it to work with the Laptop.
The Touchpad section of the System Settings just show “No Touchpad found”
sudo dmesg | grep touch
gives nothing
sudo libinput list-devices
does not show any touchpad
inxi -Fazy
