Are you using libinput or evdev ? Related question : does the keyboard work, and if so, which driver did you specify for that ? (I use a British keyboard with a couple of mappings so I have to use a conf file for it, perhaps people using the default US keymap do not need a conf file). At the risk of spreading confusion, what does it say about mouse or Mouse or MOUSE in the X log ? I put that qualification because after looking at one of my logs to see what it say, there were a *lot* of messages, some of the later messages implying it was ignored - in fact, the earlier messages were what mattered in that case. I think the noise in that case was because of the conf file from libinput. ĸen -- Currently studying https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=200087 - I bought the same model, usb sticks boot if I add noapic in grub, but no trackpad (and therefore no mouse). The ivrs parms seemed ineffective.
