Bug Description
There is no support for disabling an Elantech touchpad.
There is the script /etc/acpi/
I will attach some relevant info - output from xinput list, xinput list-props, and a candidate script modeled after asus-touchpad.sh.

Hi James,
Instead of creating a separate script for this, could you please add support for the Elantech touchpads to the asus-touchpad.sh script? That way we future-proof against doing stupid shell tricks in the event that some future ASUS or Lenovo model uses these touchpads.
Also, do you have a new /etc/acpi/events/ rule to go with this?
