Trackpad won't click after firmware update

Hello, I have a Samsung Chromebook 3 (CELES) that I had installed the MrChromebox FW on. I had just updated the firmware to MrChromebox-2509.2 11/01/2025, and the trackpad just won’t click anymore. Can I fix this? Is it a problem with the new firmware? If so, how can I rollback?

On a Samsung Chromebook 3 (CELES) with Debian 13 Trixie and KDE installed on an SD card the touchpad worked before the latest MrChromebox-2509.2 11/01/2025 update. My workaround is to disable the touchpad in KDE and use an external mouse only. Is there any chance to get the regression fixed?

Can you show me what the result of running this command is:

$ cat /sys/class/dmi/id/modalias

And while you’re at it also:

$ sudo dmesg | grep -i touch

I just updated to MrChromebox-2509.3 11/08/2025.
After trying the touchpad again with MrChromebox-2509.3 11/08/2025, it appears to have fixed the issue.

So, it’s most likely due to the capitalized product name in 2509.2.

Not sure about Walmart67 but as for me, that was an easy fix. Thanks! Appreciate it.

After running, it spits out:
