ELAN Touchpad not working

zm flag

I was using my touchpad just fine for quite a while (months), and one day I simply turned on my laptop and it no longer functions. I tried messing with input drivers, and I've found out if I remove xserver-xorg-input-libinput, and install xserver-xorg-input-synaptics, the touchpad will work, but then I can't use my keyboard. If I install libinput after that, the touchpad no longer works.

(When I say does not work, I mean the touchpad does not respond to any sort of activity at all.)

Output of xinput (with only libinput installed):

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
