Touchpad trouble.

Walter, I have no idea why nothing appears. Did you test this touchpad with
other OS? It was working fine when you migrated to Lubuntu?

The only thing I can add is recommend you to update your kernel and see if
anything changes. I use Lubuntu with 3.16 kernel and also 4.2 kernel on
other machines, but I installed manually with synaptic (I guess they came
from independent repository, since those are not standard for 14.04).

A safer option would be running Lubuntu Utopic (kernel 3.16) and Wily
(kernel 4.2) on a live session and run those test commands...

>>>>>>>>>>>>>> I'm no expert on track pads, but whenever I've needed one to
>>>>>>>>>>>>>> work, or work better; I've almost always had to mess with/create an
>>>>>>>>>>>>>> xorg.conf file to address it.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>>> gksudo leafpad /etc/X11/xorg.conf
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Searching the Internet for your laptop specs led me to
>>>>>>>>>>>>>> believe it's very similar (if not the same computer without a famous name)
>>>>>>>>>>>>>> to an 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.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>>> And even though the following page is intended for Gentoo
>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 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.
