Hi, I also have the same problem. I can't use the Elan 1200 touchpad of my
Asus X441U laptop in graphical install mode for the stretch and 20200808
netinst images. I haven't tested on the buster and bullseye alpha 2 images, but
considering that my touchpad doesn't work on the latest daily snapshot of
netinst, I assume it won't work with the buster and bullseye images either.
Here are some logs from my installed system showing the touchpad I have:

I don't really mind the touchpad not working, because I could just use text
mode, or if I need graphical, I can use my wireless mouse. But others who are
installing Debian on their laptops might find it annoying.

I suggest adding this bug to the buster and bullseye erratum, like "Touchpad
not working in graphical install".
