Touchpad not working and not recognized

[Davide]

Even during installation the touchpad did not work, after installing ubuntu 14.04 i tried to use xinput list but this is the result:

⎡ Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)]
⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)]
⎣ Virtual core keyboard id=3 [master keyboard (2)]
    ↳ Virtual core XTEST keyboard id=5 [slave keyboard (3)]
    ↳ Power Button id=6 [slave keyboard (3)]
    ↳ Fujitsu FUJ02E3 id=7 [slave keyboard (3)]
    ↳ Video Bus id=8 [slave keyboard (3)]
    ↳ Fujitsu FUJ02B1 id=9 [slave keyboard (3)]
    ↳ Power Button id=10 [slave keyboard (3)]
    ↳ FJ Camera id=12 [slave keyboard (3)]
    ↳ AT Translated Set 2 keyboard id=13 [slave keyboard (3)

The "SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad" is not present anywhere.

i need to download the *image*amd64.deb and install it right? nothing else? im on 64bit

[Davide (skyzzo92)]

Tested but the problem is still here...how do i add the tag that you mentioned?

[Colin Law (colin-law)]

@Davide for the future click on the yellow pen marker by Tags at the bottom of the description. I have added the tag.

[Colin Law (colin-law)]

As noted in duplicate bug #1372967 a workaround appears to be to add boot options
i8042.notimeout i8042.nomux
According to that report, however, this is only temporary, though it is working ok fo me so far.

Present on Utopic release candidate. Kernel 3.16.0-23 64 bit.
