I'm having the same issue on my Dell Venue 11 Pro 7140 with Intel® Core™ M-5Y71 CPU. First time I tried Ubuntu 20.04 and the touchpad issue was the some. I tried more OS is like Debian buster, Fedora 32 with no luck. Then I re-installed Ubuntu but I used the latest 20.04.1 and to my surprise everything works. I mean left and right click on the touchpad and the touchscreen also. When I opened the Ubuntu software center the touchpad error reappeared. The touchpad works on login page until I do a login.
I tried to investigate the issue: - I saved my dmesg when everything is working. - I created an lvm snapshot from the / partition and tried to restore it but the touchpad stop working after login... In the syslog I found some fwupd related errors so I tried to follow that clue. Then I found similar issue https://askubuntu.com/questions/1120267/synaptics-touchpad-disabled-after-login-after-recent-18-10-update Masking the service fwupd using systemctl mask fwupd.service command is partly solve the issue. Now, I have a working mouse cursole after login but the left and right click not working.
