[Lenovo 300e 2nd GEN] ELAN Touchpad not working

[phil]

Used Ubunutu 22.04 with the current 5.15.x Kernel, cross tested with Linux Mint and 5.14.x Kernel.

I have a Lenovo 300e 2nd Gen with an ELAN Touchscreen AND Touchpad with AMD processor.

The Touchscreen is working flawlessly.
The TouchPAD is dead.

According to the Windows driver:
%ELANHIDDeviceDesc% = ETD_HID_PTP_WIN10_Group2_Inst, HID\VEN_ELAN&DEV_0660&Col01 ; ClickPad for Capela 14e Windows
%ELANHIDDeviceDesc% = ETD_HID_PTP_WIN10_Group1_Inst, HID\VEN_ELAN&DEV_0661&Col01 ; ClickPad for Windows 100e/300e
%ELANHIDDeviceDesc% = ETD_HID_PTP_WIN10_Group3_Inst, HID\VEN_ELAN&DEV_066C&Col01 ; ClickPad for 100e/300e AMD Pollock
%ELANHIDDeviceDesc% = ETD_HID_PTP_WIN10_Group1_Inst, HID\VEN_ELAN&DEV_066E&Col01 ; ClickPad for 100W&300W Gen3 AMD Pollock
%ELANHIDDeviceDesc% = ETD_HID_PTP_WIN10_Group1_Inst, HID\VEN_ELAN&DEV_066F&Col01 ; ClickPad for 300W Gen3 Intel JasperLake

....it is an ELAN066C

According to similar solutions i tried to block several built in kernel modules, without success.

Scoured the web for hours thinking this was such a simple fix, someone certainly has it nailed by now. Haha, wrong!

Tried every 'fix' out there; none work on this model, 82GK. Help needed!

[Marc Deslauriers (mdeslaur)]

There's a relevant thread here:

https://lore<email address hidden>/T/

[Uriel Tunn (u2n)]

Thanks, @mdeslaur. At least there's a workaround for now (or so it appears).

After the last post by Hans de Goede in that thread, I was hopeful there would be a fix forthcoming (still broken as of LMDE 6.1.76-1). But that was dated 5+ months ago so not sure when, or if this will get done.

But no hurry on my part. Been using a mouse and like it batter anyway lol.
