P52: "cat /sys/bus/serio/devices/serio1/firmware_id": PNP: LEN2132 PNP0f13
Confirming a fresh install of ubuntu 18.10 works yields a fully functional touchpad but updating (tested with current kernel 4.18.0-12-generic) renders the touchpad unusable. Issuing "sudo sh -c 'echo -n "elantech"> /sys/bus/serio/devices/serio1/protocol'" restores the trackpads functionality for the current session as already described. "dmesg | grep -i elan" yields: [ 3.167455] psmouse serio1: elantech: assuming hardware version 4 (with firmware version 0x5f2001) [ 3.179490] psmouse serio1: elantech: Synaptics capabilities query result 0x90, 0x18, 0x0e.
