Public bug reported:
I have upgraded to Ubuntu 17.10 on my Asus Vivobook X505BA laptop and
with the upgrade to Wayland full-time, all of the elantech issues from a
few years back are coming back with a vengeance. Upon upgrade, my
trackpad is no longer functional and I am forced to use an external
mouse. I don't have an extra mouse that I can just drag around with the
laptop, nor do I wish to purchase one to use when I have a trackpad on
the laptop itself. Dmesg doesn't show anything about the driver failing
to load and syslog shows nothing either. I know this is a common issue
with this kind of trackpad but I hope to see a fix soon so I can go back
to using Ubuntu normally
