My trackpad and touchpad have disapeared : (
It's a thinkpad t420. fn+f8 used to work to enable or disable it but now it does nothing.
I noticed I had no file in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d so I followed the synaptic wiki and created 50-synaptics.conf but it didn't help

Re: Touchpad not working on thinkpad

Did this coincide with a recent update such as a kernel update where it was working previously?  Or did you just turn it on one day and it no longer works?

Re: Touchpad not working on thinkpad

Yeah It stopped working. I did update after because I didn't in a while. Sorry title is misleading, edited the title
