Hi, I saw that you mentioned in another bugreport, that this notebook also has an ALPS0001 touchpad in it. Can you somehow try it with a really specific kernel? (4.14.0-rc7) and create a file /etc/modprobe.d/00_i2c_hid with that in it options i2c_hid debug=1 I have a Chuwi lapbook air with a same touchpad and on this kernel, the touchpad mostly works. Touch movement, gestures (no left and right button, because it was fixed in later versions of the kernel ~4.15)
I'll give it a try. Do you, maybe, have a link to kernel's RPM?
I think this is https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=994804
Unfortunatell it still does not work with kernel 4.14.0-0.rc7.git4.1.fc28.x86_64
Update: touchpad is fully functional when booted with this kernel: https://people.canonical.com/~khfeng/lp1728244-testing/ (one has to manually install it; "alien" package is helpfull to convert to .rpm but initrd must be created manually).
This should be fixed in kernel 4.18.13 and newer, which is available for testing in updates-testing now, please give this kernel a try by running: sudo dnf --enablerepo=updates-testing update 'kernel*'
Unfortunatelly, it still does not work with 4.18.13-200.fc28.x86_64 Two and three finger taps are detected as button presses, but only sporadically. Cursor is not moving. With Canonical's kernel touchpad works fully, although it looks like there is a mixup with two/three finger taps (the first time I booted it I was able to set two-finger tap as middle click, now it behaves as right click no matter what I set in MATE config panel).

> If you have moved on to Fedora 29, and are still experiencing this issue, please change the version to Fedora 29. Test done with recent Fedora 29 kernel, and touchpad still does not work. This issue has been rebased to Fedora 29.
I have a CHUWI LapBook Air 14.1 with the same problem. Installed and tested on both Fedora 29 and 30. The touchpad does not respond. Interestingly, if I disable and re-enable it from the media key then it will work until I stop moving it. Then it will stop responding again. I've attached logs from journalctl and /proc/bus/input/devices for this device.

Still having this issue. Cannot use this touchpad with Fedora 30.
I managed to find a workaround after referencing this thread on Stack Exchange: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/512280/chuwi-lapbook-air-14-touchpad-recognized-but-not-fully-working I've attached my version of the scripts to this report. I don't understand what the real issue is but this have solved it for me completely and the touchpad works great now; currently tested and working on Fedora 30 x86_64. This is still only a workaround. To install Fedora with this touchpad present requires the use of an external mouse and the setup of the necessary scripts to get everything working.
