It should be easy.
<!--more-->
## If your touchpad is not working
Edit `/etc/default/grub` to pass kernel parameter ([docs](https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/v4.10/admin-guide/kernel-parameters.html)):
```
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="i8042.nopnp=1"
```
Leave other paramters as is. Generate configuration file as normal and reboot.
## Make touchpad more useful
Works for most Synaptics and ALPS touchpads. Requires `xf86-input-synaptics`.
