I followed your instructions to try to get the touchpad working on my
laptop (Acer E5-773G-78RN) but that didn't work.

libinput-debug-events sees the touchpad (I think, event0) but it doesn't
respond to it:

root at e17:~ # libinput-debug-events
-event0   DEVICE_ADDED     System mouse                      seat0
default group1  cap:p left scroll-nat scroll-button
-event1   DEVICE_ADDED     System keyboard multiplexer       seat0
default group2  cap:k
-event2   DEVICE_ADDED     AT keyboard                       seat0
default group3  cap:k
-event3   DEVICE_ADDED     PixArt USB Optical Mouse, class 0/0, rev
1.10/1.00, addr 1 seat0 default group4  cap:p left scroll-nat scroll-button

I have Xorg.0.log and verbose dmesg available upon request.
