So I updated to Disco with the touchpad on the Asus GL702VD and for the most part, it works, I can right click and left click and use 2 fingers to scroll, however, while I tail the /var/log/syslog I get a bunch of the following errors that repeat, where with the 4.18 kernel these are suppressed:

May 3 05:16:56 ubuntu /usr/lib/gdm3/gdm-x-session[1719]: (EE) event5 - ELAN1200:00 04F3:3090 Touchpad: kernel bug: Touch jump detected and discarded.
May 3 05:16:56 ubuntu /usr/lib/gdm3/gdm-x-session[1719]: See https://wayland.freedesktop.org/libinput/doc/1.12.6/touchpad-jumping-cursors.html for details

However, I still have the same issue where if I touch the touchpad with all 5 fingers, it locks up the touchpad and I have to use a USB mouse to use the cursor. I also get the following error from the syslog:

May 3 05:16:58 ubuntu kernel: [ 424.991449] i2c_designware i2c_designware.0: i2c_dw_handle_tx_abort: lost arbitration

The only way to get it to work is to reboot the system.

Also, the only way I could get Disco to work was in Graphic safe mode otherwise the system boots, and then locks up shortly after starting the desktop. I tried to boot up using modeset.nouveau=0 but it still locks up requiring a hard reset. However, in graphics safe mode, the system is useable. Once I install Ubuntu and use the proprietary nVidia graphics, I can then use the Fx buttons again and most of the shortcut Fn buttons work (calculator, fan control, brightness, contrast still do not work from press Fn+F5-F8 and I cannot put it in airplane mode (fn+F12) but sleep mode does work (Fn+F11)

I can provide more details/logs if you let me know what you need.

Thanks
