So trying to switch my Inspiron 7415 from Debian to Endeavour. My touchpad worked fine in Debian (both 5.10 & backports 5.15 kernels). Worked fine in Neon (hwe-edge kernel). Worked fine in the install USB for Endeavour. Soon as it’s installed, doesn’t work.
Have tried booting to LTS kernel to see if it was just a weird regression, didn’t work there either. xinput list shows it

But no worky. If I install xf86-input-synaptics then I get BASIC functionality, with movement and left click only, but no 2 finger scroll, 2 finger tap, 3 finger tap, etc.
The weirdest part IMO is that all those features worked on the live USB (I have EndeavourOS_Atlantis_neo-21_5 live usb if that’s important). Anyone got any ideas?
