Hi all, I successfully installed Guix on a Acer Aspire One laptop but the touchpad not working. Do you have any idea how I can make it work. This model has a SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad. Thanks for your help in advance! Best regards, Barnabas Beres

Can you share your config.scm? That will help us give advice.
Hey Barnabas! (awesome name by the way!) Is your touchpad working at all? Can you move a mouse with your touchpad? I had an issue on my old macbook, where my mouse would only move up and down. When I started using sway, that issue went away.

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.

Thanks, I'll check it out.
