[Bug 1531263] [NEW] Synaptics Touchpad on HP laptop not recognised not working

 

Public bug reported:

I installed Ubuntu 14.04 on a HP laptop and the Synaptics touchpad is
not recognised and therefore not working at all (cursor or buttons). I
have connected an external USB mouse and this works fine.

I am very new to linux and ubuntu and after searching the web have been
advised to report a bug. Please could you advise what I need to do to
get this working as without this I'll have to just use Windows (which
works fine with the touchpad)
