Please try VT switching to VT4 (Ctrl+Alt+F4), log in and retest with
'evtest'. If you continue to get no results then that's a kernel bug.
Because Wayland and libinput are not part of the equation when you're
testing the kernel directly.
P.S. Also check if your laptop keyboard has a function key for
disabling/enabling the touchpad. It might simply be disabled in hardware
(for reasons unknown).
** Package changed: libinput (Ubuntu) => linux (Ubuntu)
** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu)
Status: Fix Released => Incomplete

Title:
Elantech touchpad unresponsive in Ubuntu 17.10
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
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
