[1.] One line summary of the problem: ASUS GU501GM Elantech touchpad not detected [2.] Full description of the problem/report: The touchpad on the new ASUS GU501GM (the junior Zephyrus M that is a Best Buy exclusive) does not seem to be detected whatsoever with "xinput list". Windows 10 device manager shows the touchpad as ELAN:1201, HID_DEVICE:00FF1006. I've tried various combinations of i8042.* kernel parameters, as well as psmouse.proto=bare and different combinations for acpi_osi, but to no avail. I've also tried blacklisting i2c_hid and hid_multitouch. I've tried the mainstream kernel 4.16.7, also to no avail. The latest release candidates (#4 and #5) for 4.17 and 4.16.8 would not let me start X, though I noticed no touchpad miracle while I was in the SDDM login screen (I'm on Kubuntu 18.04). (Sorry, I am too inexperienced to figure out why X won't start on newer mainline kernels. I was sure to uninstall the nvidia drivers before installing them.)
