Summary0006370: TouchPad and TrackPad do not work on Lenovo P53 when using "discrete graphics"
Description

On fully updated Kali Linux, when in BIOS "discrete graphics" is selected (so NVIDIA graphic card is default) TouchPad and TrackPad on Lenovo ThinkPad P53 do not work. When switched back to "hybrid graphics" the TouchPad and TrackPad works again without issues.
The system is using latest available BIOS version:
$ sudo dmidecode -t bios | grep Revis

$ dpkg -l | grep -i nvidia-driver
