Hi
We are experiencing touchpad issues while installing CentOS in dell Latitude 5490 laptop series. Kindly find the below findings from my end regarding this incident.
Touchpad scrolling, tapping, right click are not working from the initial stage of installation.
Can proceed installation using an external mouse, but tapping & right click still won't work after the complete installation.
I have tried the installation after upgrading the BIOS, but issue persist.
There are no drivers for centos/redhat in dell official site.
Can We get a help for this issue.
Thanks,
Anas

- just throwing this out there but it may be of no use:
My Dell G3 uses xorg-x11-drv-synaptics in the @anaconda repo
Dell has a repo (at least for mine) called dell-system-update.repo and it looks like this:
I don't know if anything in there is useful to you.

Make sure the xorg-x11-drv-evdev package is installed
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.
