Hello, I have the same issue on my new Hybrid Ultrabook, the HP Spectre 13-h201ef x2 with a clean install of Ubuntu 14.04.1 64-b in dual boot with Windows 8.1 Update 1.
Under Ubuntu, my Synaptics Touchpad doesn't work at all (No response from the Touchpad) and I referred to the following Ubuntu document: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingTouchpadDetection to try solving the issue but with no success. * DebuggingTouchpadDetection * In case your Touchpad doesn't work at all (No response from the Touchpad) This is generally a case of a kernel (linux) or xorg bug. Check by connecting an external mouse to see if that works or not. 2. If yes, execute at a terminal: cat /proc/bus/input/devices One should see: I: Bus=0011 Vendor=0002 Product=0007 Version=01b1 N: Name="SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad" P: Phys=isa0060/serio2/input0 S: Sysfs=/devices/platform/i8042/serio2/input/input8 U: Uniq= H: Handlers=mouse2 event8 B: EV=b B: KEY=420 0 70000 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 B: ABS=11000003 If you do not find something like this (which is my case), then the bug is in the linux kernel. Please follow these steps: File the bug against the linux package. Provide the general information. Enter the following commands in a terminal: dmesg > ~/dmesg cat /proc/bus/input/devices > ~/devices Attach as separate attachments to your bug report ~/dmesg, ~/devices, and your /var/log/Xorg.0.log. Here attached the first dmesg file I have done on my HP Spectre 13 x2. The two other are following. My kernel version is 3.13.0-34-generic and my system is up to date. Thank you for your help. Cheers.

On 13.10 it doesn't respond to touch or right/left click. The laptop doesn't have a physical touchpad switcher or FN keys combination in order to disable/enable it. I believe this bug is caused because evdev is unable to manage this new hardware. I also tried enabling it from Gnome Settings -> Mouse.
