[Bug 1868474] [NEW] 20.04 Xorg doesn't detect/load Elantech mouse driver on Lenovo P73

[D]

Public bug reported:

The installation scripts loads the correct drivers so the touch pad and
pointer works during the install. However after the install neither
work.

I've worked around it by using a wireless USB from Vilros for mouse input while logging in. Then issuing (found on https://askubuntu.com/questions/1143663):
 sudo 'echo -n "elantech">/sys/bus/serio/devices/serio1/protocol'

So it's a bug for me but one I can work around and should be fixed
before 20.04 goes live.
