Thank you too for following up the reports here. Sadly I currently have no access to the system, it was my friend's laptop.
I think it is not yet merged since he said after a kernel update two days ago (proposed by the Software Updater), the touchpad stopped working and he had to install the manually built kernel again using dpkg. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1778534 Title: Touchpad not working (Elantech ELAN0618) Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in linux source package in Xenial: Triaged Status in linux source package in Bionic: Triaged Status in linux source package in Cosmic: Triaged Bug description: For a fresh installed Ubuntu 16 (and 18), touchpad doesn't work for Elantech ELAN0618. We have modified the struct elan_acpi_id, by adding ELAN0618 to the list of the supported models (in the file drivers/input/mouse/elan_i2c_core.c from the kernel source) static const struct acpi_device_id elan_acpi_id[] = { { "ELAN0000", 0 }, { "ELAN0100", 0 }, { "ELAN0600", 0 }, { "ELAN0602", 0 }, { "ELAN0605", 0 }, { "ELAN0608", 0 }, { "ELAN0605", 0 }, { "ELAN0609", 0 }, { "ELAN060B", 0 }, { "ELAN060C", 0 }, { "ELAN0611", 0 }, { "ELAN0618", 0 }, { "ELAN1000", 0 }, { } }; and then built the kernel, and our problem solved.
