Bug Description
I installed Ubuntu 16.10 on my Lenovo Ideapad Flex 4 laptop. Ubuntu does not recognize the touchpad (it does recognize the touch screen nicely though). When I run xinput -list, I do not see the touchpad. I dual boot with Windows 10, which recognizes the touchpad from Elantech. I searched online for days and I found Elantech drivers for Ubuntu 14.04, however, I was unable to load older versions of Ubuntu on my laptop. Do you expect to support the Elantech touchpad in future updates? I attached a screen shot of my xinput -list output. Please let me know if you require any additional information. Thank you.
