Touchpad not working

Hello,

Laptop has been having issues with touchpad since at least 4.20 kernel.
Touchpad never works (no buttons or anything too) after booting up unless I have a mouse plugged in while booting, then touchpad works.

Did fresh install few days ago, and this problem greeted me up on the very first boot up after installation.

Would post dmesg or journalctl if I knew what to grep.

Thanks.

Edit: Lenovo ideapad 120s-14iap, think it uses synaptics on windows.

Edit2: Considering myself retarded, didnt have synaptics drivers installed. Still dont know why having mouse plugged on boot made the touchpad work, probably the reason I didnt check the drivers at first
