Hello! I just installed Kali a few days ago and I was hoping someone could help me resolve an issue I've been having involving my laptop's synaptics touchpad.

So to start off with I installed kali and freshly installed the trackpad did not work (It says there is no trackpad detected). So first I edited the sources list and did apt-get update and apt-get upgrade just to make sure Kali was fully updated

Code:
deb http://http.kali.org/kali kali-rolling main contrib non-free
deb-src http://http.kali.org/kali kali-rolling main contrib non-free
So I updated to this version of kali: (My desktop environment is KDE)
Code:
.9.0-kali4-amd64
So my touchpad was still not detected. I tried googling around to find some solutions. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling both the xserver-xorg-input-synaptics and the xserver-xorg-input-libinput drivers multiple times (I even tried only having 1 installed at a time just to make sure this wasn't an issue of both drivers conflicting with each other)

I tried this solution that I found through google too:
Code:
modprobe -r psmouse
modprobe psmouse proto=imps
Which did not work.

This is the output of xinput:

Code:
 Virtual core pointer                          id=2    [master pointer  (3)]
⎜   ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer                id=4    [slave  pointer  (2)]
⎜   ↳ Logitech USB Optical Mouse                id=12   [slave  pointer  (2)]
⎣ Virtual core keyboard                         id=3    [master keyboard (2)]
    ↳ Virtual core XTEST keyboard               id=5    [slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ Power Button                              id=6    [slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ Video Bus                                 id=7    [slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ Power Button                              id=8    [slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ Sleep Button                              id=9    [slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ Chicony USB 2.0 Camera                    id=10   [slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ AT Translated Set 2 keyboard              id=11   [slave  keyboard (3)]
So it appears that my touchpad doesn't even appear here. (The USB Optical Mouse is the one I'm using right now since the touchpad isn't being detected)

So I'm out of ideas and would appreciate any help. Thank you!
