Although Elan Touchpad is listed in the output of xinput, "0" in
"hid_elan 16384 0" shows hid_elan is not being used. Is there an entry
named "*:04F3:3140.*" under /sys/bus/hid/drivers/hid-elan/?
> plus I found that this device is already defined in hid-elan.c
I couldn't find the string 0x3140. Do you mean the device is defined in
another way?
Yesterday, I used evtest to monitor the Synaptics touchpad and was
surprised to find when hid_multitouch is taking over the device,
multiple fingers (up to 4) touching could be detected,
```
$ sudo evtest

```
The only issue is the pointer won't move when I my fingers move on the
touchpad. Compared with a working touchpad, the only difference is the
lack of ABS_PRESSURE events. If I use hid-rmi, these ABS_PRESSURE events
would be generated. It seems ABS_PRESSURE events are needed to make the
pointer move. If I could let hid_multitouch collect ABS_PRESSURE events,
then the touchpad could work.
So I'm curious if hid_multitouch also handle your touchpad device by default,
could you run `sudo evtest` on the device to see what kinds of events could be
generated?

Bug description:
Hello
The MSFT touchpad of this Lenovo Legion-5 15ARH05 laptop is not reacting at
all (pointer and click never move when touchpad is touched). This has been
reported by other users in various websites, with various linux systems
including other Ubuntu systems, but I saw no launchpad bug so I post one.
Example of websites covering the issue :
- https://askubuntu.com/questions/1253830/lenovo-legion-5-touchpad (exactly
the same laptop)
- https://www.linux.org/threads/lenovo-legion-5-touchpad.29536/ (similar
laptop)
xinput indentifies it as MSFT0001:00 04F3:3140

Thanks a lot for your time. It does not help, but I can confirm what
was reported on askubuntu by another user : the touchpad does work on
Windows.
