Ubuntu 14.04 Trackpad not working (left and right click work)

Question

I was recently updating my Radeon graphics drivers, pre install the trackpad was functioning as normal, post install i can only left or right click.

Running xinput list returns that i have Virtual core pointer Virtual core XTEST pointer SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad

But when i run synclient it tells me "Couldnt find synaptics properties. No synaptics driver loaded?"

any help is appreciated!

The solution for my problem is (perhaps this would also work for you) to install the following package.

xserver-xorg-input-synaptics

Cheers
