How to make a touch pad from another ASUS laptop model work.
 
Hello.
My laptop is ASUS Vivobook 15 K513E and I have replaced the original touch pad with one from ASUS Vivobook GO 15 E1504FA recently.
So, it doesn't work when OS is running, but it works in BIOS. I think that I need to install a driver for it and here is a problem. I don't know what driver to install, because I can't see what touch pad is it (synaptics, elan or something else).

By the way, my OS is Debian 11 (bullseye).


Here is the output from xinput command:

Code:

$ xinput list
WARNING: running xinput against an Xwayland server. See the xinput man page for details.
⎡ Virtual core pointer                            id=2        [master pointer  (3)]
⎜  ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer                      id=4        [slave  pointer  (2)]
⎜  ↳ xwayland-pointer:17                            id=6        [slave  pointer  (2)]
⎜  ↳ xwayland-relative-pointer:17                    id=7        [slave  pointer  (2)]
⎣ Virtual core keyboard                          id=3        [master keyboard (2)]
    ↳ Virtual core XTEST keyboard                    id=5        [slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ xwayland-keyboard:17                            id=8        [slave  keyboard (3)]

Also, there is no record about the touch pad in /proc/bus/input/devices file.

Can anyone tell me what I have to do in this situation?
Maybe I'm digging in the wrong place.

Thank you for trying to help!

Have you tried updating the firmware for the new touchpad? If not, see this link.
