Problems with an Elantech Touchpad

Hello,

I have an Elantech Touchpad and it doesn't work at all on FreeBSD.

First of all, I did read https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/mouse-keyboard-in-x-read-before-you-ask-questions.4614/ but it seems quite outdated: I don't see the hald service anywhere and I don't plan to use gnome.

Here's my /boot/loader.conf:
Code: 
kern.geom.label.disk_ident.enable="1"
geom_label_load="YES"
kern.geom.label.gptid.enable="0"
cryptodev_load="YES"
zfs_load="YES"
linux64_load="YES"
nvidia_load="YES"

hw.usb.usbhid.enable="1"
hw.psm.elantech_support="1"
hw.psm.synaptics_support="

/usr/local/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/mouse.conf:
Code: 
#Section "InputDevice"
#    Identifier "Mouse0"
#    Driver "mouse"
#    Option "Protocol" "auto"
#    Option "Device" "/dev/sysmouse"
#EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier "Touchpad0"
    Driver "evedv"
EndSection

Section "InputClass"
    Identifier "libinput touchpad catchall"
    Driver "libinput"
    MatchIsTouchpad "on"
    MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
    Option "DisableWhileTyping" "off"
    Option "Tapping" "on"
    #Option "Device" "/dev/input/event"
    #
    #Identifier "libinput pointer catchall"
    #Driver "libinput"
    #MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
    #
    #Identifier "Mouse0"
    #Driver "mouse"
    #Option "Protocol" "auto"
    #Option "Device" "/dev/sysmouse"
    #Option "TapButton2" "2"
    #Option "TapButton3" "3"
EndSection
(as you see, I tried different drivers).

/etc/rc.conf:
Code: 
hostname="hyperbook"
keymap="pl.kbd"
ifconfig_ue0="DHCP"
ifconfig_ue0_ipv6="inet6 accept_rtadv"
sshd_enable="YES"
ntpdate_enable="YES"

dumpdev="AUTO"
zfs_enable="YES"
zerotier_enable="YES"

syncthing_enable="YES"

#hald_enable="YES"
#dbus_enable="YES"
kld_list="usbhid"

Here's output of xinput --list:
Code: 
❯ cat xinput--list.txt

and the output of xinput list-props 11 as apparently dev id 11 is assigned to the touchpad:

I don't have any other files in /usr/local/etx/X11/xorg.conf.d except one with
Code: 
Driver "scfb"
for a graphics card.

Any help appreciated.

EDIT: Here's some links of things that I tried:
 
Not related to your issue but:
Code: 
linux64_load="YES"
Remove it. And add linux_enable="YES" in rc.conf instead. Or not load it at all if you don't plan on using Linux binaries (no, the NVidia driver doesn't need it to function).

Code: 
nvidia_load="YES"
Why are you loading the NVidia driver but have X configured for scfb(4)? Either way, remove it. If you want to load the NVidia driver use kld_list="nvidia-modeset" in rc.conf and use Driver "nvidia" instead of Driver "scfb".

Code: 
#dbus_enable="YES"
You really want to enable this. There are many applications that depend on a working DBus.

Code: 
ntpdate_enable="YES"
Deprecated. Use ntpd_sync_on_start="YES" instead.
 
OK thanks for that. Yes the `linux64` stuff was for nvidia. I wanted to focus on nvidia next, but then it turned out the touchpad doesn't work so I started to dig this first :)

Code: 
ntpdate_enable="YES"

Funny, this was added by 13.1 install, I didn't change it.
 
Lucky You - I don't get that far - mine insists on being a mouse:

Yes, indeed. But it doesn't help anyways :)
Click to expand...
you ever get any movement on this? i've read pretty much everything you've listed here and maybe more and still get no two finger actions. touchpad works and seems to have tap-to-click set no matter what options i set but any multi-finger actions do nothing. xev doesn't even register the events.
i'm a long time linux guy looking to make the switch to bsd. really hate something as simple as scrolling being a show stopper
