Touchpad trouble.

synclient message means what it says "No synaptics driver is loaded". The
OS does not find any information about it, maybe because the hardware is
not connected, maybe because it has no configuration to load the module.

This notebook has any form to cancel the trackpad movements? Some notebooks
have a keyboard shortcut to make null any interactions with trackpad. In
case it has this shortcut, maybe your device is not logically diconnected
to the system.

*/etc/modprobe.d/touchpad.conf* and
*/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-touchpad.conf* must have the same owner and
permissions to the other files on the folder.

Probably *owner: root*, and *permission: read for owner*, *group and
others, and write only for owner* (-rw-r--r--)

Another page for you to check as reference is this:
