We can ignore the bit about the kernel, since you have already been on the 5.13.
It suggests ading a Grub parameter:
sudo nano /etc/default/grub
Arrow key down to this line:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"
and change it to look exactly like this:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="i8042.notimeout i8042.nomux"
Once done, hit ctrl+x
to exit, then the y
key to say Yes to save, then the enter
key to save the configuration and exit.
Now, update grub (essential step):
sudo update-grub
Reboot and test - run the command to see if your device is even detected.
cat /proc/bus/input/devices
Or xinput list
