I was using the GUI, and after installing my updates, rc6 was listed.
So I’ve installed rc6, and can confirm that the touchpad is now working.
Thanks.
FYI: I’ll keep rc6 installed, but probably not be using it by default, as I always use a wireless keyboard and mouse. But if I go out, then rc6 will be useful.
