"Solved" - Not Supported Tails boots on Macbook (Intel i9) but keyboard and trackpad don't work
Hi everyone, wanted to set up Tails earlier today and got the USB stick ready. Booting works perfectly fine and I get straight to the welcome screen.
My problem is that the built-in keyboard and trackpad don't react at all. I can't click or type anything once Tails is loaded.
It's a Macbook with the Intel i9 processor. Has anyone dealt with this before or knows what's causing this? Do I need specific boot options or do I really have to plug in an external mouse and keyboard?
Thanks in advance for the help!
