I can't get my touchpad to work on my machine. I believe it is the one with the id=18. I did a few research to try to go further but I reached a dead-end. Can someone help me?

True indeed. I tested Debian 9.4 and it is the same result. I guess it does not have anything to do with the distro.
My question was probably unclear. Where can I ask for a new driver to be written? Is there any place for such a thing?

unkllikely.
definitely not without supplying sufficient info.
i think it very unlikely that your device cannot be made to work with existing drivers.
what's a "MOSART Semi. 2.4G Keyboard Mouse"? doesn't sound like a touchpad.

Hi.
MOSART Semi. 2.4G Keyboard Mouse is a simple USB mouse I use while i try to figure out how to make the touchpad work.
Sorry for this non properly formatted post, but what informations should I provide?
More informations:
I am using a wireless mouse and there is a pen device which should be there too but not tested. And the it has a touchscreen as well and it works.
looks like your touchpad is recognized as a generic ps/2 mouse? are you sure it isn't working at all???
in any case, we need to find more about it (and not any secondary mice you attached).
please look here: https://wiki.debian.org/SynapticsTouchpad
and "Determining the type of Touchpad".

The touchpad did work for a very brief moment, each time after some kernel upgrades. There is a workaround: manually rmmod-ing the i2c_hid module first, then modprobe-ing back after sleep / suspend.
But I do not consider this as an acceptable solution.
Here is the result of the command. Sorry I did not find the command spoiler on the forum.
I do have a touchscreen and it works nicely.
I have no idea what milking a mouse could mean
you answered less than 50% of my previous post and just dumped some more code. i bet you didn't even look at it.
great.
from the code you dumped, you need to research those entries that have a clear product and vendor id (not just 0000) and aren't clearly something else. there were a few such entries there. surely one or a few of them must be your touchpad.
I'm afraid I can't spot any part of your previous post that wasn't answered. Part of it was on the post right above yours. The rest of the pasted code is the answer you asked for.

tired google?

Of course that will show results for DMV
what might you add to you search query that would help answer your question!
