I'm trying to get my Ubunto 18.10 system recognising my trackpad - which apparently works for some out of the box - with no joy.

I've tried installing the following driver:

https://github.com/robotrovsky/Linux-Magic-Trackpad-2-Driver

Unzipped it, ran sudo make install, and apparently it's installed correctly. However running tail -f /var/log/Xorg.0.log and plugging it in after provides the following:

[   588.973] (II) config/udev: Adding input device Apple Inc. Magic Trackpad 2 Mouse (/dev/input/mouse2)

[   588.974] (II) No input driver specified, ignoring this device.

[   589.182] (II) event12 - Apple Inc. Magic Trackpad 2 Mouse: device is a pointer

I'm at a loss how to get my trackpad recognised as a trackpad. I'm guessing

[   589.182] (II) event12 - Apple Inc. Magic Trackpad 2 Mouse: is tagged by udev as: Mouse

Implies this isn't the case at the minute.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

EDIT: The github suggets trying the following if the driver isn't loading:

cd linux/drivers/hid

make

sudo rmmod hid_magicmouse

sudo insmod ./hid-magicmouse.ko

tail -f ~/.local/share/xorg/Xorg.0.log

However this doesn't work on ubuntu
