After more searching it seems this is a duplicate of
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1166442

The dkms commands posted by kendatsuba fix the problem .

I'm curious why a functional 6 month old patch still not incorporated
into newer kernels ?

Closing as a duplicate but would like a comment on how long patches
generally take to get into the kernel.

Title:
  SVF13N1L2ES touchpad detected as pointer instead of touchpad

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Touchpad seems to be detected as pointer, which I think is the reason
  there is no multitouch.
