I've got kisslinux booting but for some reason whenever I start X my touchpad is never recognised.
<sidd-dino>
It's an elantech touchpad. I enabled the required kernel options. Yet nothing happens. Searched the internet, and the answers are inconsistent.

sidd-dino: X can be fiddly about these things. If you built the driver as a module, first thing is to run modprobe to load that module. If it's still not working automatically you may need to create a custom config file in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d.

illiliti: You're a genius. Your first suggestion worked --- I rebuilt musl first, then gcc, then the rest. Thank you so much for the help!

ioraff: does glib install libintl for you?
<ioraff>
no
<illiliti>
the latest one 2.73.1 right?
<ioraff>
right
<illiliti>
ok thanks
<ioraff>
looks like a release with pcre2 is imminent

glib or sway?
<ioraff>
glib. an issue was made for a new release of sway, but it hasn't seen any progress in awhile.
<ioraff>
or rather, the accompanying milestone hasn't seen any progress in awhile
<illiliti>
since sway depends on latest wlroots, they can't make new release until udev regression is fixed
<illiliti>
or they can, but that would be a slap in the face to freebsd folks and me
<illiliti>
if glib release with pcre2 is imminent, i think the best option is to wait until sway make a new relelase to avoid having pcre1 and prce2 in repository
<illiliti>
what do you think?
<ioraff>
and apparently a number of other things, according to the milestone. since backporting the pcre2 changes to sway 1.7 is quite trivial, I think we should do that.
