[Bug 1905446] Re: Touchpad not working in Ubuntu on Acer Aspire E3-112

Oops, please ignore comment #3 for now.

I missed the Fn key part in your description:

"I have a Fn key which I use in Windows to activate/disable the touchpad
and many other things, in Ubuntu, when I press Fn and f7 (the touchpad
activation key in my computer) all the mouse movement is disabled and I
have to restart the system."

so do you mean it's working before you press Fn + F7 on Ubuntu?

And after pressing it can you press it again to bring it back?
Thanks

Title:
Touchpad not working in Ubuntu on Acer Aspire E3-112

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete

Bug description:
Hello y'all!

I'm quite a newbie in Linux/Ubuntu, so please bear with me :) My
touchpad is not working. I'm using Ubuntu and Windows in my computer
with dual boot, I have to choose Ubuntu each time I open the computer.
The Touchpad works just fine in Wİndows, but in Ubuntu it doesn't
detect it. I came here following the infor in this link:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingTouchpadDetection

My computer is Acer Aspire E 11 // E3-112-C536, I have a Fn key which
I use in Windows to activate/disable the touchpad and many other
things, in Ubuntu, when I press Fn and f7 (the touchpad activation key
in my computer) all the mouse movement is disabled and I have to
restart the system.

Do you have any suggestions that I can follow?

All the best

Murat
