Touchpad not working on Lenovo 11e

Did a clean install to the laptop and the touchpad is not working on my Lenovo Thinkpad 11e (20D9). Any ideas?

Clean install from which ISO? All updates applied?

Justin It was the Solus Budgie ISO from https://getsol.us/download/ downloaded by clicking the 'Closest' icon. Would you recommend a reinstall with a different ISO? I had another ticket opened on https://github.com/solus-project/budgie-desktop/issues/ however it was closed before I could test a member's recomendation, due to it being considered "SPAM".

zerolozen So a Solus 4 ISO or and older one (they all come from the same place).

Have you tried to apply all the updates? (I.e. Connect an external mouse so you can work, do a full system update then reboot & unplug the mouse to see if it now works).

kyrios Thank you for your reply. Yes I did try that, and have verified that works. The device used was a wireless Logitech K400 USB keyboard/touch pad. Updates were/have been applied followed by a reboot. I also verified BIOS is up to date for my specific model laptop and anything touch pad related is enabled. Same results...

Was your first sentence intended to be a question? If so, I downloaded after the release of version 4.

On some laptops there are a function key(Fn) to disable/enable the touchpad. I guess you checked that already if yours has such a key, but sometimes the most obvious things are the one we forget so I ask anyway.

I haven't tried creating a new bootable USB from a new downloaded I saw within the last week. But I even booted to the one that I created for the current build, and even running it as Live, the mouse still does not work. Maybe I will create a new portable USB drive and try it from a different ISO. If that doesn't work I'm going to have to switch distros. I don't really want to because I like the concept of Solus. but at this point I need a functioning laptop that isn't running Windows.
