I've the same laptop and I make it work by using the following flag in /etc/default/grub GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="i8042.noloop=1"
This post gave me the solution: http://forum.novatech.co.uk/archive/index.php/t-26251.html After that you have to recreate the boot grub entry (I'm on ArchLinux: grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg. I think that in Ubuntu the command is "update-grub"). Then reboot and you will have a fully functional trackpad (mine it is detected by xorg as "SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad"). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1386802 Title: Synaptics touchpad is not detected on Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS (64bit) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1386802/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
