Running Linux Mint 21.1 XFCE on a Dell Chromebook 11 3180 using the MrChromebox/coreboot bios v4.17
The touchpad using the "libinput" driver has been working perfect for the last 6 months, but now it is no longer listed on the "xinput list" or available as a device on the drop-down list through the mouse/touchpad GUI. Plugging in USB mouse works fine.
I tried installing and removing "synaptics" driver with no effect - seems problem is not so much which driver to use it feels like I am a step before that not recognized.
Any help appreciated please.

as an option of possible issue..
if you have used Windows on this computer before - disable Windows Boot Manager 0000

sudo efibootmgr
change it to ubuntu boot loader.

Re: Touchpad not detected/listed - Chromebox
dmesg log shows that the touchpad driver tries to load:
[ 9.577590] elan_i2c i2c-ELAN0000:00: supply vcc not found, using dummy regulator
but as that's the only entry, the hardware seems to not be found / driver doesn't load. Any help is appreciated, at my wits end as to why this was working and now it is not.
