I have an ASUS zenbook running Ubuntu 18.04, and everytime I opened up my laptop the touchpad stopped working, so I would open up the terminal and run this:




sudo rmmod i2c_hid



sudo modprobe i2c_hid




However, recently, even this stopped working. Diagnostics tools tell me that the touchpad isn't even recognized.



Gnome Shell Version: 3.28.3
Touchpad Indicator Version: 31
Touchpad(s): No Touchpad detected.
Synclient: Not found or used on your system.
Xinput: Is installed.
Switch Method: XInput



So I tried reinstalling some things




sudo apt install --reinstall xserver-xorg-input-synaptics




And I have the most recent update for Ubuntu 18.04.



Here is what xinput shows




⎡ Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)]



⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)]



⎣ Virtual core keyboard id=3 [master keyboard (2)]



↳ Virtual core XTEST keyboard id=5 [slave keyboard (3)]



↳ Power Button id=6 [slave keyboard (3)]



↳ Asus Wireless Radio Control id=7 [slave keyboard (3)]



↳ Video Bus id=8 [slave keyboard (3)]



↳ Video Bus id=9 [slave keyboard (3)]



↳ Power Button id=10 [slave keyboard (3)]



↳ Sleep Button id=11 [slave keyboard (3)]



↳ USB2.0 HD UVC WebCam: USB2.0 HD id=13 [slave keyboard (3)]



↳ Asus WMI hotkeys id=14 [slave keyboard (3)]



↳ AT Translated Set 2 keyboard id=15 [slave keyboard (3)]




Any suggestions? Thank you.
