Internal trackpad of ASUS laptop not recognized at all by Ubuntu

[Alexander Gunn]

I installed Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS on a new ASUS TUF706HE-DS74 laptop alonside Windows 10. The trackpad is recognized and functions normally in Windows and in the BIOS UEFI interface. The trackpad has not responded at all anytime I am running Ubuntu.
An external mouse works normally in all cases, whether plugged in before boot up or after.
Running cat /proc/bus/input/devices resulted in no entry for the trackpad.
I also tried running sudo apt install xserver-xorg-input-synaptics and sudo apt update, with no change.
I have rebooted with no periferals attached or with different ones attached, and there is no difference in the devices listed when running cat /proc/bus/input/devices. I am attaching the list generated with this report.
