If it doesn't, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command: sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette . Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful. As well, you don't have to create a new bug report. Once the BIOS is updated, and the information above is provided, then please mark this report Status Confirmed.

The touchpad works only as a standard mouse and is very difficult to use whith accuracy : the cursor moves as soon as I try to click... I have to touch only the very edge of the pad to succeed. No scroll, two-fingers click and other features. No possibility to change settings : "no Synaptics driver loaded" message in SystemSettings. WIth an external usb mouse everything is ok.
