I have a very similar problem with the touchscreen not working (most of the time) on my DELL Latitude 7400 2-in-1, except that when it does not work, it does not even work on the login screen. Closing the lid or restarting does not help. Then, from time to time, the screen works again...

My touchpad is also recognised as both mouse and touchpad, but that does not prevent it from working properly. The problem is solely with the touchscreen, which is simply unreactive (most of the time) although it does properly appear in xinput:
