Hello everyone,
Somewhat of a Linux newbie here. I normally use Pop OS, but I have tried Endeavour OS before. Everything worked well (hardware) back then, but my touchpad will not work on Atlantis.
Would this be a kernel issue? How can I fix this if I am unable to move my cursor?
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

Welcome to forums.
Would you be able to post the output of the below command? Post the link.

Is the touchpad recognized as a device?
You could post a link for this. I’m sure it’s an elantech.
cat /proc/bus/input/devices | eos-sendlog
You may need to try some kernel parameters. Here are a few that you could test one at a time or a couple. You have to add them to the default grub command line in:
/etc/default/grub
i8042.nopnp
i8042.reset
i8042.nomux
i8042.kbdreset
Then update grub
sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

It could be useful also to post a link to this boot log.
journalctl -p 3 -xb | eos-sendlog
Thank you for the feedback.
Here is the output:

What is this from the boot log? Okay i see that.
Would you be able to try this? It’s a shot in the dark. Add the following to
/etc/modprobe.d/elan.conf
"options psmouse elantech_smbus=0"
Then reboot.

Wow … glad i got it right. So does it show up now as a device?
Edit:
cat /proc/bus/input/devices
Edit: Not sure if this command is what I’m looking for? It may be long so that’s why i added the send log to it in the other post.
Yes, it does now show as a device. The command gave a lot of good info. I’ve been using Linux in various forms for years and I still learn a lot when I run into headaches! Thank you very much!
