Good day, all!
A week ago I began to study Linux with Gentoo. There were some troubles, but documentation is very good and I managed to solve them. But now i have a problem that i can not resolve.
Installed system (Acer Aspire V 13) does not see toucpad.

When I load from rescuecd, touchpad is there. There is output of dmesg https://paste.pound-python.org/show/DFB8IS4WqnNjs7f0n6y2/ and output of cat /proc/bus/input/devices https://paste.pound-python.org/show/L1MaARKcc8hbIG9upxTy/.

When I load from installed system, touchpad is absent. There is output of dmesg https://paste.pound-python.org/show/Azap7pNhVXuWnoOEmB6M/ and output of cat /proc/bus/input/devices https://paste.pound-python.org/show/wFkQUQyrKpnIilmBbMBT/. There is so few devices in comparsion with rescuecd (.

My /etc/portage/make.conf contains INPUT_DEVICES="synaptics evdev". Synaptics drivers are installed. I check rescuecd USE variables, it contains "libinput mouse keyboard" in INPUT_DEVICES. I tryed to change with emerge --changed-use --deep @world, but with no success.

There is my kernel option https://paste.pound-python.org/show/rNuWOByAYii3XcT4Rz9f/.

I will be grateful for any help.

Best regards.

Hi, Roman. Thank you for answer.

I have I2C in kernel. I also managed to get touchpad to work with i8042.nopnp option in kernel. But i have a trouble with acer_wmi. Menuconfig says that ACER WMI Laptop Extras is in Device Drivers -> X86 Platform Specific Device Drivers, but i dont see it there. How can i get it?
