Comment 289 for bug 1372609

Hi!

I need help.
I read this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2253069&page=9
I am using Kubuntu 14.10 on my Asus UX303LAB.

My kernel is: Linux UX303LA 3.16.0-34-generic #47-Ubuntu SMP Fri Apr 10 18:02:58 UTC 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I cannot install this: https://launchpad.net/~hanipouspilot/+archive/ubuntu/focaltech-dkms/
Reason: no "utopic" folder under "dists" in repository.
If I change the dist to "trusty" in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/hanipouspilot-ubuntu-focaltech-dkms-utopic.list it gives me an error (about unmet dependencies - requires kernel 3.19...).
If I change the dist to "vivid" in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/hanipouspilot-ubuntu-focaltech-dkms-utopic.list it would install but after reboot (or sudo modprobe -r psmouse && sudo modprobe psmouse) in System Settings - Input devices - Touchpad it still says "Synaptics driver is not installed (or is not used)".

Then I removed the focaltech-dkms package and tried to install this: https://github.com/markmandel/psmouse-focaltech-dkms
This solution won't work either (the same message in System settings - "Synaptics driver is not installed (or is not used)").

What can I do? I cannot work on my laptop because I have no gestures, and I cannot turn off the touchpad while the mouse is plugged in and I keep (accidentally) touching it and it messes up my work...
Can anyone help me?

Thanks in advance! :)
