unresponsive trackpad after firmware update

[mamboman777]

Are you using the libinput driver? If so see my comment here on why libinput doesn't respect the disable while typing option on the touchpad and how to fix it. My eventual goal is to patch the firmware so the udev override isn't necessary.

Thank you for your reply.   I read your comment.  I added the suggested code to (/etc/udev/hwdb.d/99-local.hwdb) using sudo nano.  That file was not in exsistance before I used sudo nano to create it.  Is that correct?  The issue was not resolved by doing this.  How can check what driver I'm using?  I am using the libinput driver.

I went back and looked over it again...I had a mistake in what I typed. Putting the suggested code in /etc/udev/hwdb.d/99-local.hwdb did fix the issue! Thank you so much!!!! So much better!
