Bug Description

Laptop: Asus EeeBook X205TA
Touchpad stopped working after the upgrade to Ubuntu 20.10

I followed this guide https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingTouchpadDetection

I tried to use the Touchpad with and without xserver-xorg-input-synaptics installed, neither works.

External mouse is working fine.

Hi Tobias,
I experienced exactly the same when upgrading to 20.10 on the same hardware.
This solved the problem:

sudo apt install xserver-xorg-input-synaptics

As I've already mentioned, i did try with and without xserver-xorg-input-synaptics installed. It is currently installed and the touchpad still does not work.

Greetings
