I can't tell immediately whether or not the touchpad is working better. So I'm wondering if I did it right.

Did that simply install a program that I now have to run? If so, how do I do it?

There was no feedback beyond letting me know that the install was complete. I wasn't prompted to reboot.

Sorry for the newbie questions, I'm brand new to Arch-based systems, and don't know the CLI well enough to know how to determine what a device's firmware version is, when it was updated, etc. But, maybe it's useful that to someone like me, the process is rather opaque.

I suspect that did nothing at all.  Please see the instructions on GitHub, mentioned in the first post.
