Testing the upstream kernel has solved my problems. My mouse is now more
buttery smooth than it is on Windows. Multitouch is fully functional and
no touchpad cutoffs have happened since the update.

Title:
Elantech touchpad unresponsive in Ubuntu 17.10
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
I have upgraded to Ubuntu 17.10 on my Asus Vivobook X505BA laptop and
with the upgrade to Wayland full-time, all of the elantech issues from
a few years back are coming back with a vengeance. Upon upgrade, my
trackpad is no longer functional and I am forced to use an external
mouse. I don't have an extra mouse that I can just drag around with
the laptop, nor do I wish to purchase one to use when I have a
trackpad on the laptop itself. Dmesg doesn't show anything about the
driver failing to load and syslog shows nothing either. I know this is
a common issue with this kind of trackpad but I hope to see a fix soon
so I can go back to using Ubuntu normally
