I do not believe I owned this laptop far enough back to have installed
15.10. I believe the first installation I put on it was 16.04.

Additionally, I tried the kernel boot param of "i8042.kbdreset=1". When
I booted up the next time I saw the following output from xinput:

$ xinput 
⎡ Virtual core pointer                          id=2    [master pointer  (3)]
⎜   ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer                id=4    [slave  pointer  (2)]
⎜   ↳ PS/2 Elantech Touchpad                    id=14   [slave  pointer  (2)]
⎣ Virtual core keyboard                         id=3    [master keyboard (2)]
    ↳ Virtual core XTEST keyboard               id=5    [slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ Power Button                              id=6    [slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ Video Bus                                 id=7    [slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ Power Button                              id=8    [slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ Sleep Button                              id=9    [slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ Yubico Yubikey 4 OTP+U2F+CCID             id=10   [slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ Lenovo EasyCamera                         id=11   [slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ Ideapad extra buttons                     id=12   [slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ AT Translated Set 2 keyboard              id=13   [slave  keyboard (3)]

But almost as soon as I started to move the pointer around the touchpad
locked up (pointer stopped responding) for about 5-10 seconds and then
started working again, but now the output of xinput looked like:

$ xinput 
⎡ Virtual core pointer                          id=2    [master pointer  (3)]
⎜   ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer                id=4    [slave  pointer  (2)]
⎜   ↳ PS/2 Logitech Wheel Mouse                 id=14   [slave  pointer  (2)]
⎣ Virtual core keyboard                         id=3    [master keyboard (2)]
    ↳ Virtual core XTEST keyboard               id=5    [slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ Power Button                              id=6    [slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ Video Bus                                 id=7    [slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ Power Button                              id=8    [slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ Sleep Button                              id=9    [slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ Yubico Yubikey 4 OTP+U2F+CCID             id=10   [slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ Lenovo EasyCamera                         id=11   [slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ Ideapad extra buttons                     id=12   [slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ AT Translated Set 2 keyboard              id=13   [slave  keyboard (3)]

Checking out dmesg, I saw:

[   33.327457] psmouse serio1: Touchpad at isa0060/serio1/input0 lost 
synchronization, throwing 2 bytes away.
[   33.880155] psmouse serio1: resync failed, issuing reconnect request
[   37.823561] psmouse serio1: Failed to deactivate mouse on isa0060/serio1
[   38.259688] input: PS/2 Logitech Wheel Mouse as

[   38.381415] systemd[1]: motd-news.timer: Adding 25min 26.475299s random time.

So, as you can see, even when it does get detected as a touchpad it will
not remain functional for long.

I hope this helps!
