@botinada Thanks for raising the issue here. This line:

Elan Touchpad id

from xinput and

[ 3.118825] input: Elan Touchpad as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:15.1/i2c_designware.1/i2c-6/i2c-ELAN1000:00/input/input8

from your dmesg indicate you have an ElanTech Touchpad. The driver here isn't intended for that model of Touchpad. This device will instead use the elan_i2c driver.

You'll need to google your symptoms along with elan_i2c. Hopefully something like this will help you get started.

I'll close this issue as we can't really help you further. But I do hope you are able to resolve your issue and continue to enjoy using Linux!
