In case Touchpad features like scrolling, tapping, etc do not work at all.
Common symptom is absence of 'Touchpad' Tab is not there in
System>Preferences>Mouse.
This may be a wrong detection by the xserver or the kernel itself. So
xserver-xorg-input-synaptics has nothing to do with it. In case, filing
a bug against the kernel(linux), please note that you should not mark
the bug as duplicate even if you can find a closely related bug and you
have a strong feeling that the bug should be duplicate. This is a new
policy of Kernel Team and it help them to handle the bugs better.
