Bug Description

On a Samsung Ativ Book 9 Pro laptop, Ubuntu 15.10

Prior to login, the trackpad moves the cursor.
After login, the trackpad does not move the cursor. The touchscreen works as expected for clicking and region-selecting.

I expected the trackpad and the touchscreen to work simultaneously.

An external USB mouse works normally before and after login.

Hi Christopher,

Thanks for your prompt reply.
I downloaded xenial-dexktop-amd64.iso dated 07-Jan-2016 08:56 and booted from USB.

It took me directly to the desktop, so I didn't test on the login screen.
On the desktop, external mouse and touchscreen work as expected. The trackpad is unresponsive.

In unity-control-center->all settings->Mouse & Trackpad I tried toggling the touchpad off and on. No effect.

The Samsung ativ book 9 pro has a trackpad-on/off function key (Fn-F5). Also no effect.

Let me know how else I can help.

The same problem for Linux Mint 17.3. Tried booting with 4.4.0 kernel - the problem persists.

Sorry, forgot to mention that I experience this problem on Samsung Ativ Book 9 Spin (which I believe is pretty much similar to Pro).

David, would you need a backport to a release prior to Xenial?
