Issue with trackpad functionality on a Toshiba laptop following Ubuntu 20.04 installation
It's been a while since I moved to Ubuntu 20.04 on my Toshiba L850 laptop. The trackpad has been non-functional ever since. I’m sure it’s not a hardware issue because it works on Windows (installed by default). Using a USB mouse resolves the problem, which is why I’ve been relying on it. I’m still frustrated about having to carry an external mouse. It might be a driver problem, but I’m not sure. There are drivers for this trackpad in Windows, but they don’t apply to Ubuntu. I’ve been trying to fix it myself without much success. Would appreciate any help from others.
It's referred to as xserver-xorg-input-synaptics in Debian-based systems. Install it using sudo apt install xserver-xorg-input-synaptics.
It's already set up, but the trackpad isn't functioning. Still, thank you.
