New Lenovo Ideapad Slim 3 Touchpad not detected

Touchpad does not show up in the output of lsusb, xinput list, cat /proc/bus/input/devices

I cannot determine the trackpad manufacturer but I suspect it is elantech based on problems seen in bbs archlinux org. (but I"m not sure)

Here are the outputs:

See the last answer, should work more or less the same …

@bogdancovaciu Thanks! Finally getting a chance to apply this fix for a friend
s new laptop. I’ll let you know how it goes.

Thanks @bogdancovaciu Per your suggestion, this worked like a charm :
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="pci=nocrs quiet splash"
in /etc/default/grub
