Dell Vostro 7140 Touchpad not working on linux kernel 4.18 +


Hello, I beg of your help here. I have spent 3 days trying to make my touchpad work on kernel 4.18 +. Previously on any 4.17 touchpad would work without issues but after an update it is very intermittent. I have updated my BIOS to the latest one A17 from September 2018. Tried switching from libinput drivers to synaptics (both displaying intermittent connectivity - I cannot point out what is doing it). I have read on https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Touchpad_Synaptics that it might be a touchscreen issue and I have blacklisted i2c_hid module responisible for it to get my touchpad working again but to no avail.

Here are my details:

uname -a
Linux parrot 4.18.0-parrot10-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.18.10-2parrot10 (2018-11-17) x86_64 GNU/Linux

I have laready done this step as well:

To prevent Mate settings daemon from overriding existing settings, do as follows:

Run dconf-editor
Edit org.mate.SettingsDaemon.plugins.mouse
Uncheck the active setting.

Roll back to the older kernel for now until the touchpad is supported in kernel 4.18:-
When a new kernel comes out I always give it a few weeks before upgrading.

Looks like you are running Parrot OS which is based on Debian. Is that right?

I did that, sadly I am stuck on 4.16 at the moment even though newer is available. Yes it is a Debian distro, I found kernel modules responsible for the touchpad in my older kernel: hid-generic and hid-multitouch and moved those files to my new kernel. All went sort of well, the kernel booted, I had my touchpad back but when I looked into logfiles and confgurations I have noticed that my touchpad was being recognized as mouse and no two finger scrolling for me. I dont mind trying a dirty hack if one exists. Thank you for responding.
