Did you check systemsettings that it is enabled?
Do you have an external mous attached? Did you check systemsettings, especially these two settings which shows that the touchpad gets disabled when you are typing or have an external mouse:

I have an E752 and the Touchpad is working fine.

3

It does not work on SDDM screen as well. So, it never works.

I had to attach external mouse, since the touchpad is not working.

4

Right now the touchpad is being driven as a legacy PS/2 device. Check your BIOS to for any touchpad mode settings (Basic/Advanced etc).

You could also try adding psmouse.synaptics_intertouch=1 to GRUB, as hinted in the dmesg output you shared.

5

There is no touchpad setting in BIOS.

As I understand, the new Tumbleweed installations do not use GRUB anymore, it uses systemd-boot. I’m not even a power user under Linux, so I may be wrong.

Refer man update-bootloader for boot parameter changes.
