What model is your laptop exactly? This is helpful to know just in case
someone here has the same model and has fixed a similar issue. Also
just in case, make sure you haven't toggled any touchpad disable
buttons.

It looks like someone else had this same issue:
https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/643862/touchpad-from-hp-laptop-not-working-on-openbsd

And a cursory search found this mail thread talking about adding an
elan(4) driver:
https://marc.info/?t=154173445900001&r=1&w=2

It doesn't look like this was incorporated into OpenBSD (yet). If you're
technically inclined, you could try to compile and run that driver to
see if it solves your issues (it might need some modifications to work). 
If not, I'm afraid your touchpad is most likely just not supported by 
OpenBSD and you'll have to use an external mouse.

There may be a wsconsctl.conf(5) configuration that could make it
work, but I don't know enough about that to be helpful.

Also, in the future, it would be helpful to format your dmesg with line
breaks. It seems like when you copy-pasted it into your email, it was
just pasted as one big block of text which is hard to read.
