My laptop's can't recognize my tap
Questions/Basic Troubleshooting - Did you determine which type/hardware/rev your Touchpad is? Did you check in the BIOS if it's actually HID, or PS/2? You stated HID, but I see a kext entry for VoodooPS2Trackpad as well. Did you read the guide over on the VoodooPS2 page?. You may or may not have to edit the config inside the VoodooPS2Trackpad.Kext (hardware dependent, and not always necessary as of 2.28). Read carefully, there are known issues with Trackpad Gestures. Do you also have a Touchscreen as well, and is it working? (I see Voodooi2c, assuming there's no other i2c devices) Did you do Clean Snapshot after loading your Kexts/ACPI?? OCValidate?

Success - Acer C720-3404 with Core i3 (OpenCore Mojave and Big Sur).
I was happy to see the battery didn't have larger than 8-bit registers, so no battery ACPI patching required, yay. You just need to install SMCBatteryManager.kext
