[Bug 1414856] [NEW] SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad Dead in 14.04

 

Public bug reported:

I expect a mouse in Ubuntu 14.04. Although xinput reports the TouchPad,
it is not functional. I cannot see a mouse cursor or click things.

xinput reports:

SynPS/2 Synaptics Touch Pad id=11 [slave pointer (2)]

Solutions I have tried:

    Keypad solutions:
        F5
        Fn+F5
        pressing NumLock repeatedly during boot
    Modprobe solutions:
        sudo modprobe -r psmouse && sudo modprobe psmouse
        sudo modprobe -r psmouse && sudo modprobe psmouse proto=imps
        sudo modprobe -r psmouse && sudo modprobe psmouse proto=exps
    Kernel solutions (append to grub at end of quiet splash line):
        atkbd.reset i8042.nomux
        i8042.nopnp
        i8042.reset=1
    Missing Package solutions:
        sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-input-synaptics
        sudo apt-get install gpointing-device-settings
            xinput now fails to report SynPS/2 Synaptics Touch Pad
