After I updated my touchpad no longer works. I have a Toshiba e45t-A4200 Touchscreen laptop. The touchscreen now works fine, but I lost all functionality with my touchpad except for clicking. My touchpad is not recognized as a touchpad. Any help is appreciated. -Josh

You may try several options. The first suggestion is just to reload the module:

sudo modprobe -r psmouse

sudo modprobe psmouse

Another options (from the same website rubuntu.com - on Russian, sorry):

I hope this helps.

  • Thank you for your suggestions.Update: I tried your suggestions with no results. My touchpad is Elantech. So I tried this too: http://www.evilcodingmonkey.com/2014/01/23/ubuntu-activate-multi-touch-on-elantech/ with no results – Josh Schechter Aug 13 '15 at 23:12

  • Did you try modify xorg.conf as it was recommended on rubuntu.com? (http://goo.gl/1sYKeQ) – adm.unix Aug 14 '15 at 03:28
  • I did try modify xorg.conf The problem occured when I was upgrading from 14.04-14.10 I wanted to get to 15.04 and went through 14.10 to get there. I tried reinstalling 15.04 directly from a USB drive and the problem is now resolved!!! Thanks for your help! – Josh Schechter Aug 14 '15 at 04:05
