Hey Daniel,

When I run 'sudo evtest' my touchpad is listed as "ELAN1200:00 04F3:303E Touchpad", but when I try to test it, not input is read like it would be for something like my keyboard or any other device. I placed this bug under libinput since this bug was not present in Ubuntu 17.04 which did not use Gnome Wayland as its default compositor. Mind you, 17.04 wasn't exactly great for using the touchpad to begin with as it would occasionally cut out altogether and become as useless as it is not until a restart but at least I would be able to use it again after the restart. Since my upgrade to 17.10, and the reinstall that followed when the upgrade didn't work, I have not been able to use my touchpad at all, hence I believe it has to do with the input system on Wayland. My touchpad also does not work in separate VT logins.
