While I was preparing to update bios I noticed that there were 2 settings for touchpad in the bios menus. Mine was set to "advanced" so I set it to the first option and booted. The touchpad now works. You have my apologies for the incorrect bug report. jim clawson

As per http://us.acer.com/ac/en/US/content/drivers an update to your computer's buggy and outdated BIOS is available (1.10). If you update to this following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIOSUpdate does it change anything? 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. Thank you for your understanding. ** Tags added: bios-outdated-1.10 ** Changed in: xorg (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1448665 Title: touchpad not detected Status in xorg package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Installation of Kubuntu 15.04 did not detect touchpad on Acer Aspire E 11 (ES1 111M-C405) ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 15.04 Package: xorg 1:7.7+7ubuntu4 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.19.0-15.15-generic 3.19.3 Uname: Linux 3.19.0-15-generic i686 ApportVersion: 2.17.2-0ubuntu1 Architecture: i386 CompizPlugins: No value set for `/apps/compiz-1/general/screen0/options/active_plugins' CompositorRunning: None Date: Sun Apr 26 08:34:55 2015 DistUpgraded: Fresh install DistroCodename: vivid DistroVariant: ubuntu ExtraDebuggingInterest: No GraphicsCard: Intel Corporation Atom Processor Z36xxx/Z37xxx Series Graphics & Display [8086:0f31] (rev 0e) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) Subsystem: Acer Incorporated [ALI] Device [1025:0933] InstallationDate: Installed on 2015-04-25 (0 days ago) InstallationMedia: Kubuntu 15.04 "Vivid Vervet" -
