The touchpad didn't work at all when I performed an identical reinstall:
flashdrive iso of 14.04.1  LTS, checked boxes  for  updates and 3rd
party software.

It's  a brand new laptop.

Title:
  Synaptics' Precision Touchpad misdected as PS/2

Status in “xserver-xorg-input-synaptics” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS  (64-bit)
  version 1.7.4-0ubuntu1
  It's an Acer Aspire E 11 (E3-111-C0WA), which should have Synaptics' "Microsoft Precision TouchPad".
  September 5th: The touchpad worked upon installation, but lost all functionality after I installed the updates and rebooted.

  I updated gpointing-device-settings through Synaptic.  Although I
  recall that this wasn't always so, currently there are touchpad
  settings in Mouse & Touchpad, but still no functionality.

  
  cat /proc/bus/input/devices
  	I: Bus=0011 Vendor=0002 Product=0007 Version=01b1
  	N: Name="SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad"
