errors and weird touchpad behavior

hello, I am running Fedora 33 on a Dell XPS 9550. My touchpad appears to be working ok, except for the fact that doing actual clicks (pressing on the touchpad is not working), but that appears to be a problem with the touchpad (because it also is not working really on Windows). I am getting the following error on startup: [    2.770865] psmouse serio1: synaptics: device claims to have min coordinates query, but I'm not able to read it. [    2.770870] psmouse serio1: synaptics: Your touchpad (PNP: DLL06e4 PNP0f13) says it can support a different bus. If i2c-hid and hid-rmi are not used, you might want to try setting psmouse.synaptics_intertouch to 1 and report this to linux-input(a)vger.kernel.org. [    2.978865] psmouse serio1: synaptics: Unable to initialize device. Can anyone tell me if this might be an actual hardware issue at this point? Is there a possibility this error is telling me why "clicking" is not working? Is there any firmware of software I could install that might fix this problem (for any OS)? thank you,
