[SOLVED]Touchpad only working in Arch Linux Live

Hi everyone,
a few days ago, i cloned my arch install from my old Asus Zenbook to my new not so old Matebook X Pro (2018 model).

Since then i never got the touchpad of the Matebook working in my Arch install. I used the system-rescue.org live USB to backup my partitions using clonezilla. This live distribution uses Arch Linux and the touchpad is working fine.
It shows up in dmesg

[   45.649802] hid-multitouch 0018:06CB:CD48.0002: input,hidraw1: I2C HID v1.00 Mouse [SYNA1D31:00 06CB:CD48] on i2c-SYNA1D31:00

and in xinput list

root@sysrescue ~]# xinput list
⎡ Virtual core pointer                    	id=2	[master pointer  (3)]
⎜   ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer              	id=4	[slave  pointer  (2)]

⎣ Virtual core keyboard                   	id=3	[master keyboard (2)]
    ↳ Virtual core XTEST keyboard             	id=5	[slave  keyboard (3)]

    ↳ AT Translated Set 2 keyboard            	id=13	[slave  keyboard (3)]

On my normal install nothings in xinput list and even dmesg does not show the touchpad. How can i figure out which module i am missing?

system-rescue.org live uses 5.15 lts kernel, i also tried this one, but still nothing showed up.

Could anyone point me to the right direction?

Thank you.

Re: [SOLVED]Touchpad only working in Arch Linux Live

Compare "lsmod" between the systems and also

modinfo hid-multitouch | grep -i 06cb

Re: [SOLVED]Touchpad only working in Arch Linux Live

Thanks for your reply.

dmodinfo hid-multitouch | grep -i 06cb

gives the same output in both environments. Hid-multitouch was missing in the not working touchpad environment, but loading it didn't also change anything. Still no output in dmesg.

I'll add the lsmod output in a few moments...

Please also post the complete dmesg output of either system - you can use the tip in the 1st link below to feed it directly into a pastebin service.

Re: [SOLVED]Touchpad only working in Arch Linux Live

By looking at both dmesg output i saw the ACPI errors and checked the kernel command line. After removing the acpi_osi= from the command line, the touchpad started working.

Thanks everyone!
