Focaltech touchpad. Couldn't find synaptics properties.

You have a Focaltech touchpad. The driver can be installed by running in terminal

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:hanipouspilot/focaltech-dkms
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install focaltech-dkms

You can run

 sudo modprobe -r psmouse
 sudo modprobe psmouse

to get it work immediately, or just reboot.

If you have 14.04, then you will have to reboot, because new kernel will be installed.

UPDATE: These touchpads are now supported by the 4.2+ kernels. The kernel can be installed by

sudo apt-get install linux-generic-lts-xenial

The Focaltech driver from the PPA should be removed.

I removed the PPA, because many people try to install the Focaltech driver for other touchpads!

I have no Idea why they think they have a Focaltech touchpad.

This is not a generic answer for all touchpad problems!!!
