Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: You can read more about it here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/628659/elantech-touchpad-completely-unresponsive-ubuntu-14-15?noredirect=1#comment893622_628659 I'm not fully sure of the nature of my problem, but was recommended to come here with this concern. I have a feeling that the issue is that generic Ubuntu drivers do not provide full support for all ELANtech touchpads. In searching various forums for help, it seemed to me as though system76.com may have previously offered drivers that were capable of fixing some slightly older ELANtech touchpads, but I do not think these can still be downloaded. Furthermore, I think they may have only fixed laptops just slightly older than mine. The package I am using is most likely "xserver-xorg-input-synaptics". I expected the cursor to move when I touched the touchpad, but instead, nothing happens. I have successfully been able to use a USB mouse, but it is a bit inconvenient to try and use everywhere, since I am a college student and all of our desks are ridiculously small.
