Support

Hello Manjaro community, yesterday night after disgusted with fedora gnome and opensuse plasma freezing issue i finally decided to switch back to Manjaro but this time i choose to go with xfce DE
I am facing an weird issue with my touchpad on Asus vivobook15 Ryzen5 2500U, speed is not increasing and very slow touch pad and natural scrolling is not working .
you understands it’s a little bit giving problem .
is that xfce totally relies on keyboard ?
and one more problem is that on live video chat screen brightness is automatically decreasing which is a problem which is gotta be stable right?

if none of my problem solves , I will just learn it and never switch back to others

I suggest you check Settings > Mouse & Touchpad to see if touchpad is recognised
xfce4-mouse-settings
xfce:xfce4-settings:mouse [Xfce Docs]

Asus have released many different laptop with the name Vivobook 15
ASUSTek Computer VivoBook 15_ASUS (All) Computers
more information about this hardware is needed

There is only one comment I can find on Archwiki for a Vivobook 15 relating to touchpad

Sometimes the touchpad is not recognized, to fix run sudo rmmod i2c-hid-acpi and sudo modprobe i2c-hid-acpi

using xinput might help.
use this program written in bash.
