Re: ASUS G752VS Touchpad does not work

[Aljoša <aljosa@cromalternativemoney.org>]

Ubuntu 17.10 daily build (2017-07-10), kernel 4.10.0-19
Booted from Live USB, without USB mouse connected: ELAN touhpad doesn't 
work at all, but al least touchpad cursor is visible all the time. I've 
tried to disable/enable the touchpad via system settings, but nothing 
changes.
After that, I suspended my Asus G752VS laptop via shutdown/suspend menu 
and then I disconnected the USB mouse. After waking up from suspend, my 
ELAN touhpad magically became fully functional - everything works 
fabulously.

power button to wake up from suspend, my ELAN touhpad magically became 
fully functional - everything works fabulously.

the trick should work also with Ubuntu 17.04 but that's not my case. My 
current Ubuntu 17.04 was installed while it was still in development - 
so I will perform a new clean installation (without Windows) in the next 
few days.
