Touchpad Doesn't Work on HP Spectre x360 with Ubuntu 18.04
I successfully installed Ubuntu 18.04 on a new HP Spectre x360 Convertible (after a variety of installation issues relating to graphics). However, the touchpad is not working. An external USB mouse works fine.
This is the output of xinput --list (with the USB mouse attached):
And this is the output of lsusb:
What can I do to get it to recognize the touchpad?

I should add that the touchpad works fine in Windows 10 (I installed Ubuntu as dual-boot) and it also works fine under Ubuntu running in a VM in Windows 10.
