Settings
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasmashell
Version First 6.5.5

SUMMARY
I recently bought a Brydge SP Max+ Rugged Keyboard/Case for my Surface Pro 8.
The keyboard/case connects to the SP8 via USB and has a built-in touchpad. The
keyboard and touchpad work great in Windows 11, but only the keyboard works in
EndeavourOS (Arch Linux) with KDE Plasma 6.5.5. The touchpad refuses to work
(the cursor doesn't move) in EndeavourOS with Plasma. The weird things are that
the touchpad is detected and listed as a pointer device by libinput
list-devices, is present and enabled in System Settings, and registers events
when I run evtest. The keyboard hot keys (FN+ALT_L) to enable/disable the
touchpad don't enable the touchpad.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Attach keyboard
2. Check that touchpad is enabled in System Settings
3. Press touchpad enable key combination
4. Move fingers around on touchpad
OBSERVED RESULT
Nothing happens
EXPECTED RESULT
A pointer should appear on the screen and touchpad events should register with
plasmashell
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows: Windows 11 (dual boot, touchpad works in Windows 11)
(available in the Info Center app, or by running `kinfo` in a terminal window)
Linux: EndeavourOS with 6.18.7-arch1-1-surface (64-bit) kernel
KDE Plasma Version: 6.5.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.22.0
