I just installed Xubuntu 25.10 on my Acer 511 Spin Chromebook (which I reformatted and replaced the firmware using the MrChromebox/Chrultrabox utilities). Everything is working great, except the touchscreen, which is totally non-responsive.
Using the xinput command, it shows:
⎡ Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)]
⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ Elan Touchpad id=10 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ Elan Touchscreen id=11 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ keyd virtual pointer id=15 [slave pointer (2)]
⎣ Virtual core keyboard id=3 [master keyboard (2)]
↳ Virtual core XTEST keyboard id=5 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Power Button id=6 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Video Bus id=7 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Sleep Button id=8 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ sof-glkrt5682max Headset Jack id=9 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Intel Virtual Buttons id=12 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ AT Translated Set 2 keyboard id=13 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ keyd virtual keyboard id=14 [slave keyboard (3)]l
list-props for the Elan Touchscreen shows:

Any help in getting it working would be greatly appreciated.
(I should also note that I am a total Linux newbie and only found these commands online, so please forgive anything obvious that I’ve missed!)
