Brand new HP Omen 017, installed dual W11 Ubuntu 20.04

The trackpad is not working.

When I run xinput list I get:

$ xinput list

In Windows 11 the trackpad works fine, and device manager reports as Elan Precision Touchpad

Thanks for the help!!!

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.
