I have bought an IdeaPad Gaming 3 15ARH05 and I installed Ubuntu. The kernel version is 5.8.0-43-generic and the Ubuntu version is Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS.
After installing Ubuntu I noticed that I couldn't move the cursor using the Touchpad. The Touchpad is detected and I'm able to click (on both sides) and tap to click, but the cursor doesn't move at all. Also note that an auxiliar mouse works without errors, the issue is just the movement of the cursor with the Touchpad.
As shown in xinput, the Touchpad is enabled:
⎡ Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)]
⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ MSFT0001:00 06CB:CE2D Mouse id=13 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ MSFT0001:00 06CB:CE2D Touchpad id=14 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ 2.4G Mouse id=10 [slave pointer (2)]
⎣ Virtual core keyboard id=3 [master keyboard (2)]
...
If I check xinput --list-props 14 I get this:

I initially thought this may happened because of a wrong value in libinput Accel Speed but making changes to this value doesn't seem to affect the Touchpad.
I have been searching on the Internet for a couple of days and none of the solutions worked for me, the Touchpad is detected, so I assume this is not an issue related to the Kernel, maybe there's an issue with libinput, but I cannot figure out what, any suggestions will be appreciated.
