Very strange. Trackpad works in Windows, but doesnt get recognized by mint, tried both the ubuntu and debian based versions, went through every fix i could find in the forums but nothings worked.
Hopped into windows again, Made sure bios was up to date and looked what kind of trackpad i have while at it.
ELAN Trackpad
HID over I2C
xinput doesnt show it at all
tried using ubuntu, same problem, doesnt get shown in xinput either. in mint i atleast see the cursor in the middle of the screen, in ubuntu i dont even see that
A little update!
in the live os from a usb drive it works perfectly fine and the trackpad gets recognized as ELAN071A:00 04F3:30FD Touchpad by xinput
