Just done a clean install of Manjaro on my new Elimina 17.3" laptop (Clevo NH77HJ).
There are a couple of issues:
1) The touchpad doesn't work. libinput identifies it as an ETPS/2 Elantech Touchpad (which I guess is correct) but it produces no input, even when using libinput debug-events so I'm using a mouse for now. The touchpad didn't work with the Live USB either but I thought a full install with the latest updates might help, sadly it didn't. Lots of people seem to be having similar touchpad problems but I haven't come across a definitive solution that works.
2) When booting the login screen is not shown, it stops at the PCS logo. It has booted because Ctrl-Alt-F2 gives me a console login prompt and if I press Ctrl-Alt-F2 and then Ctrl-Alt-F1 the login screen magically appears. The Live USB booted up OK but then it doesn't have the login screen.
If anyone has had similar experience and knows a solution or can suggest how I can debug the problems I would be grateful. I'm not a complete noob having worked with Linux/Unix since the 70s but any help appreciated.
