touchpad off after boot

[Redmar]

On a fresh install of 14.04, the tochpad won't come on after boot, and I have to manually switch it on using Fn + F7. Using synclient TouchpadOff=0 has no effect and the bios does not contain any settings for the touchpad. When I boot to windows 7 I can use the touchapd immediately.
