My TouchPad is not responding on an Acer Aspire E1-471-6650
I recently bought an Acer Aspire E1-471-6650 and I already have problems. First, when I tried to use the touchpad on a LiveCD, it wasn't responding. When I installed it in my notebook, it wasn't responding either. I was browsing for solutions and I couldn't find a solution for it.
When I write xinput
command:
⎡ Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)]
⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad id=13 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ Optical Mouse id=11 [slave pointer (2)]
⎣ Virtual core keyboard id=3 [master keyboard (2)]
↳ Virtual core XTEST keyboard id=5 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Power Button id=6 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Video Bus id=7 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Power Button id=8 [slave keyboard (3)]

I tested these solutions:
I was able to enable/disable this with Fn+F7.
I wrote in final of paragraph of sudo nano /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-synaptics.conf
:
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "touchpad catchall"
Driver "synaptics"
MatchIsTouchpad "on"
Option "TapButton1" "1"
Option "VertEdgeScroll" "1"
EndSection
Can somebody help me? .. thanks!
Solution 1:
You might try enabling the touchpad with Ctrl+Fn+F7 instead of just Fn+F7. I had to do this with my Acer Aspire E431.
