Hi, I have a Dell 9500 XPS machine equipped with this touchpad: I: Bus=0011 Vendor=0002 Product=0001 Version=0063 N: Name="PS/2 Logitech Wheel Mouse" P: Phys=isa0060/serio1/input0 S: Sysfs=/devices/platform/i8042/serio1/input/input4 U: Uniq= H: Handlers=mouse0 event3 B: PROP=1 B: EV=7 B: KEY=70000 0 0 0 0 B: REL=3 It is being recognized as a mouse (I guess by the kernel itself, or by something weird in udev?) and this causes X to recognize it as a mouse and not a touchpad. Related lines in dmesg: [ 0.336074] serio: i8042 KBD port at 0x60,0x64 irq 1 [ 0.336076] serio: i8042 AUX port at 0x60,0x64 irq 12 [ 0.345968] input: AT Translated Set 2 keyboard as /devices/platform/i8042/serio0/input/input2 [ 0.867212] psmouse serio1: elantech: assuming hardware version 4 (with firmware version 0x0f5002) [ 0.867748] psmouse serio1: elantech: elantech_send_cmd query 0x02 failed.

This sounds like a misconfigured kernel (missing a driver or 2 or 3), can you reproduce the problem with a generic kernel like gentoo-kernel-bin-5.8.6? I somewhat doubt that there is a real bug here, and think it's even much less likely that there would be anything to fix for gentoo maintainers.

Please have a look at the config file, maybe I indeed forgot something, there's always some quirk to learn :-) but I doubt this: [ 0.867212] psmouse serio1: elantech: assuming hardware version 4 (with firmware version 0x0f5002) [ 0.867748] psmouse serio1: elantech: elantech_send_cmd query 0x02 failed. [ 0.867750] psmouse serio1: elantech: failed to query capabilities. Is the result of something missing... if you have suggestions, I'm all ears.
Please try a generic kernel, if it works there then the dmesg output can be very enlightening as to what bus & drivers are used

I'll keep looking, but if you have any further suggestions I'd appreciate them.
Created attachment 658406 [details] Working config Adding a couple of other options finally fixed the issue.
