Re: Touchpad not working
Run lsmod, is the i2c/modules loaded? also pinctrl_amd loaded?
also in dmesg, do you see timed out or failed to reset or errors smtg like that?
since it's not being detected at all, first try BIOS reset; it's basically, unplug the power source; then hold power button for ~40 or more seconds, and boot, and better then, please post full journal of the system
sudo journalctl -b | curl -s -H "Accept: application/json, */*" --upload-file - 'https://paste.c-net.org/'Edit:
also please use #code tags and edit your post in regard https://bbs.archlinux.org/help.php#bbcode

Re: Touchpad not working
There is a way I know of to read any input devices readings to your screen by using the "cat" command to read those said devices..
so pay attention to /dev/input* and run it on each device in /dev
for example my laptop has a device in /dev/input called "mice" (/dev/input/mice)
if I run "cat /dev/input/mice" and move my trackpad around it shows character output to that terminal....
try looking around your dev/input directory and let me know what you may find out for yourself.
I may be able to help you further on this.
UPDATE:
I just googled something for you.. here was the output from it's AI result:
To output all mouse devices in Linux, use the xinput list command for GUI-based systems, or cat /proc/bus/input/devices to list all input hardware including mice, trackpads, and USB devices. For a specific USB listing, use lsusb, or evtest to show event handlers.Best Commands to List Mouse Devices:xinput list --name-only`: Lists all input devices, highlighting mice and touchpads in a readable format.cat /proc/bus/input/devices: Provides a detailed, raw list of all input devices, allowing you to scan for H: Handlers=...mouse... lines.lsusb: Lists all USB devices, which often includes wired and wireless mouse receivers.evtest: A tool to monitor input events, which lists all available /dev/input/event* devices.If you are using a specialized gaming mouse and need to configure it, you may need to use libratbag or piper to see detailed information.
use xinput list and see if your trackpad is showing, if not, it's a low level problem like a missing kernel module... amongst other things I can't think of right now because I'm tired I think that google result should help you..

Re: Touchpad not working
You can just use evtest.
i2c_hid.acpi_osi=
…
May 11 02:45:12 archlinux kernel: i2c_hid: unknown parameter 'acpi_osi' ignored
What's that supposed to be?
May 11 02:45:12 archlinux kernel: i8042: PNP: No PS/2 controller found.Sketchy.
May 11 02:45:12 archlinux kernel: nvme0n1: p1 p2 p3 p4 p5Is there a parallel windows installation?
In case see the 3rd link below. Mandatory.
Disable it (it's NOT the BIOS setting!) and reboot windows and linux twice for voodo reasons.
Apparently the device has a touchpad toggle on Fn+F10
The internal keyboard works?
If there's no parallel windows, does the touchpad work on some live distro like https://grml.org ?

Re: Touchpad not working
What happens if you actually feign some windows version?

Re: Touchpad not working
"i2c_hid.acpi_osi=" is complete nonsense, remove that.
Then try 'acpi_osi=! acpi_osi="Windows 2022"', you cannot reasonably just pile those on each other and fake every windows version at the same time.
Are there any settings related to the touchpad in the bios?
Also please edit your first post and wrap the libinput output in code tags to limit the scrollbar on this thread, thanks.
