Hey All! I got myself the latest and greatest release of Tumbleweed, set up a new partition, and started the install process from the DVD, only to discover that, for the life of me, I cannot seem to get my trackpad to work at all. I have a 2010 MBP, and have been dorking around with settings during the install as best as I can, with no progress. I have Googled this for about two hours now, and no real solutions seem to be bubbling up, so I thought I’d drop a note here. If you have any suggestions, redirects for instructions/help, etc, that would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks in advance for your time and wisdom.
I recall this Macbook-Pro-Touchpad-Multitouch-Issues thread affecting users with Leap. I don’t have a definitive solution, but just to get a basic handle on how the touchpad is currently detected and the Xorg input drivers in use, run these and report back
/usr/sbin/hwinfo --mouse
If you have a USB mouse attached you can ignore that particular output block
