Andre, xinput displays the same whenever I switch the touchpad on or off
with the keyboard shortcut.

uname command displayed the following:

Linux walter-netbook 3.13.0-61-generic #100-Ubuntu SMP Wed Jul 29 11:22:15
UTC 2015 i686 i686 i686 GNU/Linux

Greetings!

>>>>>>>>>>>>> Acer Aspire D270. So, if you find an xorg.config for that laptop, you may
>>>>>>>>>>>>> want to try it and/or tweak it from someone elses.

>>>>>>>>>>>>> Linux (so a lot of it won't apply), it includes an xorg section that seems
>>>>>>>>>>>>> to address the trackpad among other things. You may want to check it out.
