This is not detected at all by 12.1-RELEASE out-of-box. Anyway, a bit of searching in the ports tree indicated that it was sysutils/iichid, and after building/installing/loading it, plus loading ig4, installing x11-drivers/xf86-input-libinput, and adding the suggested xorg.conf snippet (adjusted per output from 'libinput list-devices') - the touchpad works! (At least to the extent that I care to use it.) It has a kind of strange behavior though, might be a feature:-) - if I move the cursor and let go of the touchpad without first stopping the motion, the cursor continues to move on its own... Thanks a lot for the info, Ed! --Per
