Welcome to the forum. Please don't post pictures of code.
You can use a pastebin client (not pastebin.com) to post code.

Did you read the link I posted? You are able to post to the forum and post pictures, so I don't understand why you can't use a pastebin client.

Moving to Newbie Corner.

Try passing "psmouse.synaptics_intertouch=0" to the kernel, https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ke … le_options

Not working...

Is xf86-input-evdev installed? On many systems, the touchpad works fine when both xf86-input-libinput and xf86-input-evdev are installed.

Yes both are installed

The patch described here was reported to work for Arch, although it is from a while back.

Does it generate events on "sudo libinput debug-events"?
Did you try toggling it (seems Fn+F9)?

Without specific configuration libinput will always be used over evdev due to usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/40-libinput.conf having precedence over usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-evdev.conf

What kernel version was it reported to work with? It looks like it applies v3.14 but was never upstreamed.

OK, so the touchpad was toggled... I pressed the key on my keyboard and now the touchpad works...

Sorry for my stupidity ...

I totally didn't think of that because it never has not happened to myself - believe me™ ;-)
Please always remember to mark resolved threads by editing your initial posts subject - so others will know that there's no task left, but maybe a solution to find.
Thanks.
