Hello!
I'm not entirely new to Arch but I got a new laptop: a touchscreen Inspiron 7000 that's pretty much only using intel drivers. (8th gen 8250u)
My problem is that the touchscreen doesn't seem to be recognized when being started at boot by enabling gdm or lightdm and xorg fails and returns me to an unresponsive terminal until i force it to return to the real one.
It does however work if I log in as root and start lightdm manually (but not gdm, though both produce the same errors if started with a service), but this forces me to log out and then return to my root terminal to shut down unless i do a hard shut down
here's the output of journalctl | grep gdm

EDIT
I'm not sure what did it exactly but I disabled the gdm service and reenabled lightdm, and it stutters a bit but gets there eventually. GDM would be nice but this is good enough for me
