The touchpad does not work to begin with. It may work initially with libinput or synaptics, but only sometimes. The touchpad can be seen registered either as Elan Touchpad or ELAN0634:00 04F3:3124 in the Xorg logs. Since the touchpad only works, when it is seen registered as ELAN0634:00 04F3:3124 in the Xorg logs, the touchpad works quite randomly, but not consistently. To circumvent this, one has to blacklist the elan_i2c kernel module.
elants_i2c would need to be blacklisted instead for the Intel version of the Lenovo Yoga Slim 7.
