the installed debian12 cannot find my touchpad(HP EliteBook 630)

[mirrorfca]

I had installed debian 12 in my laptop.

However, "the installed" debian 12 cannot find out my touchpad.

The reason I marked "the installed" is when I use the booted USB. My touchpad working very well.

here is my hardware:

host: HP EliteBook 630
Kernel: 6.1.0-15-amd64
CPU: 12th Gen Intel i7-1255U (12) @ 4.700GHz

and here is the touchpad information of /proc/bus/input/devices when I boot my laptop by USB:

I: Bus=0018 Vendor=06cb Product=ceab Version=0100
N: Name="SYNA30ED:00 06CB:CEAB Touchpad"
P: Phys=i2c-SYNA30ED:00

U: Uniq=
H: Handlers=mouse1 event9
B: PROP=5
B: EV=1b
B: KEY=e520 10000 0 0 0 0
B: ABS=2e0800000000003
B: MSC=20

Does anyone know how to boot my touchpad?

I installed it and restarted the laptop but nothing changed.

Shouldn't the package to be installed be this one?

Code: Select all

xserver-xorg-input-synaptics

although on my laptop (not Hp) I have this one instead

Code: Select all

xserver-xorg-input-libinput

which is working fine so might be worth checking.

[mirrorfca]

I just checked it.

xserver-xorg-input-synaptics and xserver-xorg-input-libinput

had installed in my laptop.

Sometimes I had to check XFCE's settings to get the touchpad working, don't know what you DE you are using, worth to check anyways.

[mirrorfca]

I am also using XFCE. Can I ask how do you get the touchpad working?

seems to be the culprit, seems to be an i2c-device. I have no experience of those kind devices, try to search the same code using search enginge.
