In my case, the laptop is my son's. Tonight, I gave up on manjaro, and
installed ubuntu. Touchpad didn't work. Booted into windows ... and it also
didn't work (which was new, my son who has been using it for a week and
half has not seen this before). Was not visible in Device Manager, and
scanning for new hardware did not reveal anything. I could not find any
Lenovo drivers to download.. I rebooted a few times. No touchpad in
windows. But there was a BIOS update, (1.06 I think, from July 8, change
note says something about SI03 fixes). I applied that. Secure Boot was
reenabled, and the trackpad worked again in windows. But still no good in
Ubuntu. This is with mainline 5.7.8 and 5.8 RC4. The BIOS update readme
said nothing about touchpad, but it looks like flashing the BIOS fixed the
problem (in Windows).
