Just installed Ubuntu 14.10 on my acer c720 chromebook. The touchpad is unresponsive.

Determine whether a touchpad has been detected To check if a touchpad has been detected open a terminal and check the input device list given by this command:

xinput list

If one of the lines mentions a touchpad or glidepoint (perhaps also "Synaptics" or "ALPS"), your touchpad has been detected.

If one of the lines mentions an "ADB mouse", then your touchpad is old. Use the trackpad command line tool to configure it. Here's an example to switch on tapping and dragging:

sudo trackpad show
sudo trackpad tap
sudo trackpad drag

Trackpad works with Linux ver 3.18 and later. I suggest to upgrade to 15.04 which comes with 3.19.
