Hi everyone, I'm late in this discussion but I may have a solution for those who are in the same case than Alistair Sutter and me before. This solution works if you use the kernel command 'acpi_osi=!" and maybe some else. I had exactly the same issue on my Asus FX503VD with the same config. I tried everything I found on several forums without success... until today!
If you get one of the latest kernel (4.17.2 for me) and remove the kernel parameter 'acpi_osi=!' you should find the elantech touchpad with xinput and use it (for years I hope...) without bugs with the screen backlight... et voilaaaa! Sorry for my frenglish.
