The Macbook touchpad bug was probably
<https://issues.guix.gnu.org/35574> which was resolved in the default
configuration by booting Linux with modprobe.blacklist=usbmouse.

Possibly it would help to add a set-xorg-configuration service to your
operating-system configuration file (/etc/config.scm or whatever you
have called it) and there select either not libinput or not synaptics:

(services (…
           (set-xorg-configuration
            (xorg-configuration
             (keyboard-layout keyboard-layout)
             (modules
              (list
               xf86-video-vesa
               xf86-video-fbdev
               xf86-video-amdgpu
               xf86-video-ati
               xf86-video-cirrus
               xf86-video-intel
               xf86-video-mach64
               xf86-video-nouveau
               xf86-video-nv
               xf86-video-sis
               xf86-input-libinput ;maybe remove this libinput line
               xf86-input-evdev
               xf86-input-keyboard
               xf86-input-mouse
               xf86-input-synaptics ;maybe remove this synaptics line
               ))))
           …

Then do a  guix system reconfigure.

Regards,
Florian
