Issue/Bug Description:
Installed Pop!_OS on a Dell Vostro 14-3468, everything seems ok but the touchpad is not behaving properly.
I can move the cursor on screen using the touchpad easily and tap to click and double-finger-tap to right click works fine.

When pressing the bottom-left and bottom-right on the touchpad I can hear a button press sound but nothing happens on screen and hence I can't use the touchpad to drag and drop icons or resize windows.

Essentially the touchpad is working partially and the clicks at the bottom don't work.

Steps to reproduce :

  • Get your hands on a Dell Vostro 14-3468
  • Nuke windows and install Pop!_OS on it.
  • Touchpad click on pressing the bottom stops working

Expected behavior:
Expecting the bottom left click to work so that I can hold it to resize windows or drag stuff.

Other Notes:

  • Tried using xev, clicking the button does nothing.
  • xinput output
