Why do always people want to blacklist those drivers when they have a
good chance to make their device working?

There are multiple reports of issues with recent Asus laptops. For instance:
https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-input/msg56193.html
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1510649

and others are related to ELAN1200 devices that are not enumerated
correctly by i2c-hid:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1543769

The reason in the latter case is because of the IRQ pins that are not
correctly mapped IIRC. It should have been fixed in a v4.17-rc kernel
though.

Could you provide a full dmesg without any blacklisted driver so we
see if there is an error somewhere?

Also could you provide the output of acpidump as root so we have a
better idea on how the touchpad is declared in the DSDT.

Cheers,
Benjamin
