A workaround is to switch touchpad settings to "basic" from "advanced". — Pilot6, Mar 01 '17 at 19:23

This touchpad is not fully supported by the current Ubuntu, and probably upstream, Linux kernels.

There is a reported bug regarding this touchpad.

It will be fixed not before the kernel developers add full support.

As a workaround you can switch the touchpad setting in your BIOS from "Advanced" to "Basic".

You probably won't have all available features, but at least it will work.
