** Description changed: Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS (64-bit) version 1.7.4-0ubuntu1 It's an Acer Aspire E 11 (E3-111-C0WA), which should have Synaptics' "Microsoft Precision TouchPad". September 5th: The touchpad worked upon installation, but lost all functionality after I installed the updates and rebooted. I updated gpointing-device-settings through Synaptic. Although I recall that this wasn't always so, currently there are touchpad settings in Mouse & Touchpad, but still no functionality. - cat /proc/bus/input/devices - 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/input10 - U: Uniq= - H: Handlers=mouse0 event5 - B: PROP=5 - B: EV=b - B: KEY=e520 610000 0 0 0 0 - B: ABS=660800011000003 + 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/input10 + U: Uniq= + H: Handlers=mouse0 event5 + B: PROP=5 + B: EV=b + B: KEY=e520 610000 0 0 0 0 + B: ABS=660800011000003 The terminal gives no response to - cat /proc/bus/input/devices > ~/devices - + cat /proc/bus/input/devices > ~/devices xinput --list - SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad id=12 [slave pointer (2)] - + SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad id=12 [slave pointer (2)] cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep -i synaptics [ 16.692] (II) config/udev: Adding input device SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad (/dev/input/event5) [ 16.692] (**) SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad: Applying InputClass "evdev touchpad catchall" [ 16.693] (**) SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad: Applying InputClass "touchpad catchall" [ 16.693] (**) SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad: Applying InputClass "Default clickpad buttons" [ 16.693] (II) LoadModule: "synaptics" [ 16.693] (II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input/synaptics_drv.so [ 16.693] (II) Module synaptics: vendor="X.Org Foundation" [ 16.693] (II) Using input driver 'synaptics' for 'SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad' [ 16.693] (**) SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad: always reports core events [ 16.712] (II) synaptics: SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad: found clickpad property [ 16.712] (--) synaptics: SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad: x-axis range 1472 - 5662 (res 0) [ 16.712] (--) synaptics: SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad: y-axis range 1408 - 4728 (res 0) [ 16.712] (--) synaptics: SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad: pressure range 0 - 255 [ 16.712] (--) synaptics: SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad: finger width range 0 - 15 [ 16.712] (--) synaptics: SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad: buttons: left double triple [ 16.712] (--) synaptics: SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad: Vendor 0x2 Product 0x7 [ 16.712] (--) synaptics: SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad: touchpad found [ 16.712] (**) SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad: always reports core events [ 16.732] (II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device "SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad" (type: TOUCHPAD, id 12) [ 16.732] (**) synaptics: SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad: (accel) MinSpeed is now constant deceleration 2.5 [ 16.732] (**) synaptics: SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad: (accel) MaxSpeed is now 1.75 [ 16.732] (**) synaptics: SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad: (accel) AccelFactor is now 0.037 [ 16.732] (**) SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad: (accel) keeping acceleration scheme 1 [ 16.732] (**) SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad: (accel) acceleration profile 1 [ 16.732] (**) SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad: (accel) acceleration factor: 2.000 [ 16.732] (**) SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad: (accel) acceleration threshold: 4 [ 16.732] (--) synaptics: SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad: touchpad found [ 16.733] (II) config/udev: Adding input device SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad (/dev/input/mouse0) [ 16.733] (**) SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad: Ignoring device from InputClass "touchpad ignore duplicates" + + + UPDATE + My new laptop's touchpad didn't work at all when I performed an identical reinstall: flashdrive iso of 64-bit 14.04, selected updates and 3rd party software. + + The only difference is the values for "Handlers=" and "id=". + + I didn't update gpointing-device-settings this time.
