Sorry for the lag. And thanks for the clarification about the USB mouse.

From what I can read in the dmesg, your touchpad is detected as a
regular mouse and is not using any specific driver (while it should to
be able to use the raw touches).
Given that your laptop is an Asus one, I would still lean toward an
Elan touchpad, but we might need more logs.

Can you boot your laptop with the upstream kernel with the following
parameter appended to the kernel boot line: "i8042.debug" (without the
quotes).

Then, do not type anything on the internal keyboard or your password
will be in the logs.
Touch the touchpad with one finger for less than 2 secs (just making
sure the debug output will not overwrite the beginning of the dmesg
output).
Finally, log on the laptop through ssh or by plugging an external USB
keyboard, and send us the dmesg output.

We might then be able to understand which driver fails to load and
which should be used.

Cheers,
Benjamin
