Hello folks!

On laptop Asus X55A touchpad is recognised as ps/2 mouse.
In general it is usable, but touchpad-specific options are unavailable ('tap-to-click', scrolling, etc).

in case you have the moused_enable="YES" in your /etc/rc.conf try removing or comment it out. I own a X550C and that did the trick for me.

In 90% of laptops touchpads are connected by PS/2 and recognized as PS/2 mouse.
Only exception is Macbook where USB is used
