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 Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1386802 Title: Synaptics touchpad is not detected on Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS (64bit) Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I have a notebook CX Evo II (http://www.redcx.com/productos/28/evo-2) with installed Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS 64bit Everything works OK except the touchpad which is not detected at all. --- ApportVersion: 2.14.1-0ubuntu3.5 Architecture: amd64 AudioDevicesInUse: USER PID ACCESS COMMAND /dev/snd/controlC0: darko 2687 F.... pulseaudio darko 3367 F.... pulseaudio /dev/snd/controlC1: darko 2687 F.... pulseaudio darko 3367 F.... pulseaudio CurrentDesktop: Unity DistroRelease: Ubuntu 14.04 HibernationDevice: RESUME=UUID=c4c0b2bd-3e31-4209-9ab4-87da1c1f7833 InstallationDate: Installed on 2014-10-21 (7 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS "Trusty Tahr" - Release amd64 (20140722.2) MachineType: ADVANTEC SA CX Nice Evo II Package: linux (not installed) ProcFB: 0 inteldrmfb ProcKernelCmdLine: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-3.13.0-37-generic.efi.signed root=UUID=2caf41ae-44d0-4bce-93b0-26da5712afc1 ro quiet splash ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.13.0-37.64-generic 3.13.11.7 RelatedPackageVersions: linux-restricted-modules-3.13.0-37-generic N/A linux-backports-modules-3.13.0-37-generic N/A linux-firmware 1.127.7 Tags: trusty Uname: Linux 3.13.0-37-generic x86_64 UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) UserGroups: adm cdrom dip lpadmin plugdev sambashare sudo _MarkForUpload: True dmi.bios.date: 01/08/2014 dmi.bios.vendor: American Megatrends Inc. dmi.bios.version: C15B.612 dmi.board.asset.tag: ATN12345678901234567 dmi.board.name: C15B dmi.board.vendor: ADVANTEC SA dmi.board.version: 1.0 dmi.chassis.asset.tag: To Be Filled By O.E.M. dmi.chassis.type: 3 dmi.chassis.vendor: ADVANTEC SA dmi.chassis.version: To Be Filled By O.E.M. dmi.modalias: dmi:bvnAmericanMegatrendsInc.:bvrC15B.612:bd01/08/2014:svnADVANTECSA:pnCXNiceEvoII:pvr1.0:rvnADVANTECSA:rnC15B:rvr1.0:cvnADVANTECSA:ct3:cvrToBeFilledByO.E.M.: dmi.product.name: CX Nice Evo II dmi.product.version: 1.0 dmi.sys.vendor: ADVANTEC SA To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1386802/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages Post to : kernel-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
