Does that mean you solved it? Or are you providing the file as it exists on your system?

Re: [SOLVED] how to enable touchpad on start...

Maybe your DE is disabling it by default?

Re: [SOLVED] how to enable touchpad on start...

Since xinput does not list your touchpad as "SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad" you should take a look at this: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/To … 2_mouse.22
