The problem here is that the ID of the Elan touchpad is not in the white list of the driver. For a patch, see https://lore.kernel.org/linux- input/20191202010253.GO248138@dtor- ws/t/#m008d36e30f2711c0e3e33d396a444dd2ee98f8b1
So far, I could not find a tree carrying this change. So you need to patch some kernel source to make it work. With the patch applied, no need to modify the DSDT table nor do any other change. -- 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/1861610 Title: 'Elan touchpad' not detected in 'Ubuntu 19.04' on 'Lenovo ThinkBook 15 IIL' Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: The Elan touchpad on my Lenovo Thinkbook isn't being detected, and hence isn't working. `sudo acpidump | grep -C3 ELAN` gives me the device's ACPI id: ```bash ghosthawkzero@EchelonV:~$ sudo acpidump | grep -C3 ELAN 2A060: 49 4E 54 31 70 0A 20 49 44 41 44 A4 84 53 42 46 INT1p.
