The Lenovo Yoga 720 has a touchpad that shows up in lsusb with a bus ID of 06cb:0081. 06cb is the vendor ID for Synaptics. A quick Google search for the that string brings no results except other people trying to get the touchpad working on the 720.

This leads me to believe that this is a new device. This machine only came out a couple of months ago and is probably not listed in whatever table of device IDs that libinput or some other driver uses to match devices up with their features. I would think that a generic mouse module would of provided some functionality, but this is not the case.

Is there a place where I can tell Linux to match up that bus ID with the touchpad driver? From the reading I have done about this, it seems like touchpad drivers are usually done outside of the kernel level and though the X server, and through libinput using uinput.

So if anyone has any ideas or suggestions please share them.

Some other details:

The only place anything touchpad related seems to appear is lsusb:

If it's a synaptics touchpad, you could give the synaptics driver a chance. Install it with:

$ sudo pacman -S xf86-input-synaptics

You can then copy over the default configuration file to make use of it:

$ cp /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/70-synaptics.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/70-synaptics.conf

This is what helped me in a similar case. Source: Arch linux wiki

The section Touchpad device is not located at /dev/input/* has helped me too.

I have the same machine, the touchpad is actually an ELAN651 device, hooked through the I2C bus. The USB id you see is that of the fingerprint reader.

Support for this touchpad was added to the kernel somewhat recently, around 4.14, see the related thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/Lenovo/comments/6ebgbc/with_the_yoga_720_15_touchpad_not_working_on_linux/ . With the right kernel version, it should work out-of-the-box.
