I installed Manjaro KDE a few days ago. It worked fine after installation, but after the first reboot the touch-pad/track-pad stopped working, although if I connect a wireless mouse, it works. I tried following many of the archived forum tips to fix the problem but it doesn’t seem to work. Also, for some reason if I plug my laptop to charge then the track-pad works, even after I pull out the charger.
Under ‘system setting’ I see the touchpad, it is there and everything is ticked as it should be but the touchpad still doesn’t work. And even when it doesnt work it still recognizes it.
Also, sorry for my English, not my native tongue.

Is there a way to make Device: ELAN0634:00 04F3:3124 Touchpad; Kernel: /dev/input/event6
permanent (on start-up) and not only run when plugged in?
