FreeBSD is installed on Lenovo Ideapad 320-15AST. Based on several web
hits, this model contains the Elantech touchad.

There is hw.psm.elantech_support=1 in /boot/loader.conf. This is
supposed to make the psm(4) driver to pick it up and create /dev/psm0,
but this doesn't happen, and there is no /dev/psm* device.


How to troubleshoot this?


Yuri

Hi!
Try with
hw.psm.synaptics_support=1
in /boot/loader.conf.

Worked for me to get a PS/2 trackpad working with evdev.
