Bug Description

Hi
I just bought a new Acer Aspire V 15 Nitro computer with a pre-installed Windows 8. I installed Ubuntu so I can run dual-boot. Everything works fine now except my touch-pad that isn't working in Ubuntu but works fine when i boot into Windows. And when i'm in Ubuntu my USB mouse works fine aswell.

 cat /proc/bus/input/devices

 cat /proc/bus/input/devices
This command does not show any SynPS/2 or anything.

When i run

    xinput --list
Under the Virtual core pointer there is only one

    Virtual core XTEST pointer
    Logitec USB-PS/2 Optical Mouse
and then there is a empty slot where I think my touch-pad should be.

In my system settings I can see the touch-pad and turn it on/off but nothing happens. I also installed Touch-pad indicator but nothing happens aswell.

When I run

    cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep -i synaptics

    [ 4.362] (**) : Applying InputClass "enable synaptics SHMConfig"
    [ 4.362] (II) LoadModule: "synaptics"

    [ 4.404] (--) synaptics: : touchpad found

After running

     grep -i touchpad /var/log/Xorg.0.log
the output is

      [ 4.362] (**) : Applying InputClass "evdev touchpad catchall"
      [ 4.362] (**) : Applying InputClass "touchpad catchall"

but when i run

      xinput -list

there is nothing with id 12

      ⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)]
      ⎜ ↳ Logitech USB-PS/2 Optical Mouse id=11 [slave pointer (2)]

erkanp, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available from the very top line at the top of the page (not the daily folder) following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags:
kernel-fixed-upstream
kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested exactly shown as:
kernel-fixed-upstream-3.17-rc7

This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description.

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags:
kernel-bug-exists-upstream
kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your understanding.

Hello erkanp,
This bug needs your help to make it progress,
please follow comment #21, download the latest mainline kernel and install them with "sudo dpkg -i *.deb" command, otherwise this bug will be expired.

And for those who are also affected, please just click on the also affected button, or you can open a new bug on your own to do some more testing with "ubuntu-bug linux" in your terminal.

Thanks!
