after booting void, and fedora linux,the touchpad isn’t recognizing anything apart from my palm, where I only manage to move the cursor and click. What do I do? and is this a driver issue or a hardware issue
Look in logs for the type of touchpad you have -
grep touchpad /var/log/Xorg.0.log
You should see something similar (my touchpad is an Elan model)
[ 6.700] (**) Elan Touchpad: Applying InputClass “libinput touchpad catchall”
[ 6.702] (II) event7 - Elan Touchpad: device is a touchpad

I have the same chromebookand same issue.
My touchpad is recognized as a “PIXA2342:00 093A:200D Touchpad” i can find it in settings too, but its completely dead otherwise. Cant gind anything about this touchpad and i dont recognize it from anywhere either.
Trying to run Fedora KDE which sucks because it runs beautifully with the exception of built in speakers and the touchpad.
I have the same issue which I have already fixed a while back.
The steps to fix are:
- Install libinput (on Arch Linux the command is:
sudo pacman -S libinput) - Create this file if it doesn’t exist already
/etc/libinput/local-overrides.quirks
Most text editors will create the file for you if it doesn’t exist already when you save the file. - Open it with the text editor of your choice (make sure you run it as root), I use nano
sudo nano /etc/libinput/local-overrides.quirks - Add this to the file:
[PIXA Touchpad] MatchName=*PIXA*Touchpad* AttrResolutionHint=31x31 AttrPressureRange=10:8 - Save the file and reboot your computer.
This should fix it, if it doesn’t or you need something clarified you can ask me.
It would be great if you could upstream this quirk. See quirks: Add quirk for Google Chromebook Cret (!1056) · Merge requests · libinput / libinput · GitLab for an example.
Hello,
I have this exact same issue. Libinput can see the touchpad, see the mouse (under the touchpad), and it can detect the pressure, but it does not do anything.
Here is my touchpad name under libinput list-devices:
PNP0C50:00 093A:1002 Touchpad
What do I do in this instance? Im also on cachyos and hyprland
