I tested the new version. Now it it starts, unfortunately it disables not only the TrackPad, but also the TrackPoint same time. As I researched a bit, it seems that that Elantech Trackpoint and TrackPad is only one device not like Synaptics before :-(

In meantime, I found a BIOS option to disable the Trackpad, but a stupid to disable it in the BIOS, specially if you want to that only temporary.

I did some testing in meanwhile.

Upgrading from kernel 4.13.0-37 to new kernel 4.15.15 from ubuntu kernel build.

The result is that now it shows the correct separated devices:

Using now the actual version of the touchpad-indicator disabling the trackpoint instead of the touchpad. Please check this. Thank you.

Hi Lorenzo,
thanks for looking at it. Here is the output of the terminal, when disabling and enabling the "touchpad" from the menu.
