Public bug reported:

Computer Model: Acer ES1-511-C0DV
Touchpad Manufacturer: Synaptics

Scenario
-------------
I recently acquired a used Acer ES1-511, which came installed with Windows 7.  I planned to only use the laptop with a Linux distro.  

Initially, I installed The latest Ubuntu distro (32-Bit) in parallel
with Windows 7.  Upon testing the environment from a USB install drive,
I used Ubuntu's partitioner to shrink the Windows 7 partition
significantly. The trackpad was working fine and I went ahead with the
install.  Everything was great.

When I realized that I had installed the 32-Bit version and that my
system was easily capable of running the 64-Bit version, I decided to
re-install the 64-Bit OS.

In the testing scenario, everything was fine.  I wet ahead with the
install, but this time, I decided to just overwrite the entire system
and erase Windows 7 completely.  I decided that I would only use Ubuntu.
When install was complete, I restarted the computer and that's when the
issue began.

On reboot, The trackpad did not respond.  I tried a number fixes that I
found in the forums, but when I search in terminal under lspci and a
number of other commands, the trackpad does not exist on any list.
There isn't even and unknown device.

Concerned that it may be an Ubunut 64-Bit issue, I decided to try a
different distro - Elementary OS.  Unfortunately, I'm still having the
issue.  I can control everything with a USB mouse, but the trackpad is
still unresponsive.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks!
