Both the touchscreen and the touchpad function as a regular mouse, but the touchpad shows up as an ITE Tech. Inc. ITE Device(8910) pointer in xinput (see attachment). Multitouch and scrolling however, do not function, nor do options for this show up in the Mouse & Touchpad options in Ubuntu 14.10 64-bit.
