Hi there --
I have a new Acer Swift Edge 16 (model SFE16-43) I'm trying out and it
looks like on OpenSUSE Tumbleweed, as of kernel 6.4.12, the touchpad
is missing the ABS_PRESSURE and/or ABS_MT_PRESSURE device bits. The
device itself works fine, but without pressure information I think
there seem to be some finger detection issues (specifically, light
enough touches don't appear to register).
I'm not sure if the hardware itself doesn't support these bits
or if a quirk needs to be added to the kernel. I'm happy to help try
and figure this out. My understanding is that all modern Synaptics
touchpads support pressure information, though I could certainly be
wrong about that.)
Some debugging output that might be useful. Happy to provide more
as necessary:

A thing that's a bit strange to me is the separate reporting of mouse and
touchpad devices. I don't know if that's a red herring or a clue.
Reporting this directly here per similarity to [1] which was closed in libinput.
Thank you!
