Open the Terminal
cd /etc/modprobe.d/
gksudo gedit options.conf
In the text editor, type: options psmouse proto=imps
Save the file and close it.
sudo modprobe -r psmouse
sudo modprobe psmouse)
method, but it says this:
sasukeskapa@sasukeskapa-AO725:/etc/modprobe.d$ sudo modprobe -r psmouse
WARNING: All config files need .conf: /etc/modprobe.d/options.comf, it will be ignored in a future release.
sasukeskapa@sasukeskapa-AO725:/etc/modprobe.d$ sudo modprobe psmouse
WARNING: All config files need .conf: /etc/modprobe.d/options.comf, it will be ignored in a future release.
sasukeskapa@sasukeskapa-AO725:/etc/modprobe.d$
And after reboot it forgets everything and I have to do it again.
Isn't there a permanent solution??? Also what could be the problem here???
(I'm using a Kubuntu 12.04)
(Also the scrolling doesn't working.)
After a next reboot now it works
Only the scrolling left to repair

This worked, but the notification are is goofy. You can fn-F7 to togle off and on, but the notification icon always shows the "off" graphic. So for those of you who tried the above and think it doesn't work after rebooting, try fn-F7 even if it keeps showing you the "turned off" graphic.
FIXED WITH NO HACKS YEAH!!!!!
Finally got Elantech touchpad working perfectly. Follow the following instructions, reboot and you're golden
ELANTECH TOUCHPAD
In TERMINAL type the following:
Then COPY and PASE the following in the file. Save it, reboot and voila it works, multitouch and all!Code:sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Code:Section "InputClass" Identifier "ETPS/2 Elantech Touchpad" MatchProduct "ETPS/2 Elantech Touchpad" MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*" Driver "synaptics" Option "TapButton1" "1" Option "TapButton2" "3" Option "TapButton3" "2" Option "VertTwoFingerScroll" "1" Option "HorizTwoFingerScroll" "1" Option "CoastingSpeed" "10" Option "EdgeMotionMinZ" "30" Option "EdgeMotionMaxZ" "40" Option "EdgeMotionMinSpeed" "100" Option "EdgeMotionMaxSpeed" "400" Option "FingerLow" "9" Option "FingerHigh" "12" Option "EmulateMidButtonTime" "0" Option "ClickPad" "True" Option "SoftButtonAreas" "50% 0 82% 0 0 0 0 0" EndSection

You are amazing.
Totally.
Touchpad fully works on my gathering-dust acer.
Thanks!
Don't waste your energy trying to change opinions ... Do your thing, and don't care if they like it.
I have Acer Aspire 725 netbook and I have edit xorg.conf and added the section but still touchpad is not working. Am I missing something?
NEC E6300 running ubuntu 12.04.. touchpad was working fine until the last update, I have run dconfig-editor, there's nothing in the box to click under 'org'. Followed instruction from Narbalek and nothing changed. No tab is showing for touchpad in systems.
Not a coder, will follow instructions and keen to learn if anyone is willing to step me thru. Thanks.
