I upgraded from Xubuntu 14.04 to 14.10 on my ASUS UX305F and the cursor on my touchpad no longer moves and only the left-click functionality works.
It's still recognized:
$ xinput list
⎡ Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)]
⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ Logitech USB Receiver id=10 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ ETPS/2 Elantech Touchpad id=14 [slave pointer (2)]
And it's enabled:

I don't know what driver is installed, but I've tried to install the synaptics driver and it apt-get tries to uninstall some xorg packages (xorg, xserver-xorg-core-lts-utopic, xserver-xorg-input-evdev-lts-utopic, xserver-xorg-lts-utopic, xserver-xorg-video-intel-lts-utopic, xubuntu-desktop) and installing xserver-xorg-core.
THat makes me think there are some uneven versions of things installed, but even if I accept apt-get's solution, it fails, complaining:
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
E: Unable to lock the download directory
I don't need to install synaptics if I can just get the touchpad working, but I suspect I will need to. Any ideas?
sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-input-all
.The following packages have unmet dependencies: xserver-xorg-input-all : Depends: xserver-xorg-input-vmmouse but it is not going to be installed Depends: xserver-xorg-input-synaptics but it is not going to be installed Depends: xserver-xorg-input-wacom but it is not going to be installed E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
sudo apt-get install -f
. And what doescat /etc/lsb-release
show?
