I have an Acer Aspire E15-511-P7AT and since I switched to linux (18, 19, 20) I haven't managed to get my touchpad button to work at all. (tap to click works and 2 finger support etc. all works fine).
I found out that this version of linux uses libinput as a driver (correct?) so I changed to synaptics to see if it makes a difference but it didn't.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Let me know if you need more info! (first post, sorry)
