No 2-finger scroll - EasyOS in a Lenovo Flex 5 -14in

Got a new laptop, a newer Flex5 and Kirkstone work out of the box... Mostly
(upgrading from Dunfell to Kirkstone)
Everything works except WiFi. This thing comes with a newer MediaTek MT7961 which had to be enabled on the kernel compile. I added firmware and off it went.
One last thing I want to fix, is the 2 finger scroll on the scrollpad. The laptop has a MSFT Microsoft identified touchpad and I am having problems finding out how to configure it.
cheers,
gcav

Lots of different drivers just like wifi cards. This might help.

Fixed...
loading module hid_multitouch fixes the issue and flsynclient now works...

That's interesting.
I wonder if should make it the default to automatically load that module.

This solved my touchpad woes in the Kirkstone 5.8.3 release on my Acer laptop today. The module doesn't load on boot, but modprobe from the command line loads it just fine.
Code: Select all
# lsmod|grep multi
# modprobe hid-multitouch
# lsmod|grep multi
hid_multitouch 24576 0

That would be awesome. In the meantime, can anyone advise on how I configure it to load automatically on my own?
Update: For now, I'm calling modprobe with the command shown above via /etc/rc.d/rc.local, and this is working just fine. If there's a better way to achieve the same result, I would love a pointer in the right direction. Still trying to familiarize myself with the way things are done in EasyOS. It's been a long time since I used anything that wasn't running systemd, and I'm just wanting to understand the system better here. Thanks!

Thanks for posting about this and reminding me.
I have made a note, next time compile kernel, make hid_multitouch builtin.
@gcav
What kernel version did you compile, and do you recall what wifi module you enabled?
I just checked:
OK, I will compile the kernel now, fixing both issues.
