I've installed several linux distributions and my touchpad isn't working in any of them. USB Mouse works fine and the touchpad works on Windows 10. I tried many different things I've found and none of them got good results. I'm using a Lenovo Ideapad 320 laptop running Windows 10 and Ubuntu 17.04 dual boot.

My xinput output: 

⎡ Virtual core pointer                      id=2    [master pointer  (3)]
⎜   ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer                id=4    [slave  pointer     (2)]
⎜   ↳ Logitech USB Optical Mouse                id=12   [slave  pointer  (2)]
⎣ Virtual core keyboard                     id=3    [master keyboard (2)]

  • Most likely the touchpad is not supported by Linux yet. You can try a newer kernel to check if the support has been added. – Pilot6 Aug 05 '17 at 14:04
  • Does the computer see the touchpad? `lshw` will tell you, and `journalctl -b` will list all system messages since boot, including, maybe, a reason why no touchpad. – waltinator Aug 05 '17 at 14:04
  • `lshw` doesn't show any touchpad and I can't see any touchpad related line on `journalctl -b` :/ – Matheus Melo Aug 05 '17 at 14:11
  • Installed the newest kernel, still not working. Is there any way I can report it to Ubuntu? – Matheus Melo Aug 05 '17 at 14:32
  • Edit your question to include the output of `apt-cache policy xserver-xorg-input-synaptics` and `apt-cache policy xserver-xorg-input-libinput`. – heynnema Aug 05 '17 at 14:42
  • ps: also see https://www.reddit.com/r/elementaryos/comments/6nnpcp/touchpad_not_working_on_lenovo_ideapad_320/ – heynnema Aug 05 '17 at 14:45
  • User space xserver-xorg drivers are not related. It is a kernel issue. – Pilot6 Aug 05 '17 at 15:40
  • You can report it to Canonical by running `ubuntu-bug linux`. – Pilot6 Aug 05 '17 at 15:41
  • Reported to Canonical. Hope they fix it quick :/ – Matheus Melo Aug 05 '17 at 23:31
  • Please try again, this time with the developing version, which comes with the newest linux kernel and hardware drivers (tested with Ubuntu), [Ubuntu Development version / How to participate](https://askubuntu.com/questions/1018033/ubuntu-development-version-how-to-participate/1018060#1018060) – sudodus Mar 27 '18 at 07:36

Have you tried running the following?

sudo modprobe -r psmouse  # PS/2 mouse driver
sudo modprobe psmouse proto=imps  # Add proto=imps option
