In Raring with kernel 3.8, the touchpad did work, but the touchscreen and wifi did not. Since kernel 3.10, touchscreen is detected by i2c-hid kernel module, but also the touchpad. However, according to the kernel maintainers, the i2c-hid mode driver for Synaptics touchpad is missing. That's why it's is not detected as a touchpad.
