So I can't actually do anything! The touchpad moves the mouse pointer
around the screen but clicking on anything does nothing.

How can I reset the touchpad to defaults?



typing "xinput list" should give a list of things and ID numbers.
maybe something in there looks like the buttons.
"xinput disable <ID number>" disables it so presume "xinput enable <ID number>" will enable it. Think only applies to the session but maybe can set to defaults if click working.
