I can't get my touchpad to work. It used to work just fine a couple of days ago, but now it stopped. I do remember upgrading to the latest kernel, but I don't know if that's the issue.

I installed xinput and it does report my touchpad:

bash-5.0$ xinput

I ran lspci and it reports:

I do have a Logitech G603 plugged in and that's working fine. I dual-boot to Windows and the touchpad works fine there.

Any ideas what I could do or try?

Thank you for your help 🙂
