I'm having the same issue on my Dell Venue 11 Pro 7140 with Intel® Core™ M-5Y71 CPU. First time I tried Ubuntu 20.04 and the touchpad issue was the some. I tried more OS is like Debian buster, Fedora 32 with no luck. Then I re-installed Ubuntu but I used the latest 20.04.1 and to my surprise everything works. I mean left and right click on the touchpad and the touchscreen also. When I opened the Ubuntu software center the touchpad error reappeared. The touchpad works on login page until I do a login.
I tried to investigate the issue: - I saved my dmesg when everything is working. - I created an lvm snapshot from the / partition and tried to restore it but the touchpad stop working after login... In the syslog I found some fwupd related errors so I tried to follow that clue. Then I found similar issue https://askubuntu.com/questions/1120267/synaptics-touchpad-disabled-after-login-after-recent-18-10-update Masking the service fwupd using systemctl mask fwupd.service command is partly solve the issue. Now, I have a working mouse cursole after login but the left and right click not working.

PopOS 20.04 fully updated. I have experienced this bug on stock Ubuntu 20.04 as well as Kubuntu 20.04. When at the login page, the trackpad and keyboard operate as they should. Once the login process is complete and the desktop is displayed, the keyboard still works as expected but the trackpad no longer controls the pointer. The touch display still functions as expected but the trackpad on the keyboard dock doesn't work.

(interrupt to exit) I did try to remove xserver-xorg-input-synaptics, but it is not installed on 20.04. There is still an issue with Wayland and the trackpad, but it's different than Xorg so the problem may be in how Xorg is processing the trackpad (I honestly don't know) - in Wayland, it will work until I attempt to run the sofware center. --- ProblemType: Bug ApportVersion: 2.20.11-0ubuntu27 Architecture: amd64 CasperMD5CheckResult: skip CompizPlugins: No value set for `/apps/compiz-1/general/screen0/options/active_plugins' CompositorRunning: None DistUpgraded: Fresh install DistroCodename: focal DistroRelease: Pop!_OS 20.04 DistroVariant: ubuntu ExtraDebuggingInterest: Yes, if not too technical GraphicsCard: Intel Corporation HD Graphics 5300 [8086:161e] (rev 09) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) Subsystem: Dell HD Graphics 5300 [1028:066b] MachineType: Dell Inc.
