I tried a lot to make touchpad enable in Ubuntu 16.04.1. I reinstalled drivers, kernals, was using synclient(as a matter of fact it has never changed "TouchpadOff" option), dconf. The only thing that helped me is setting inside of BIOS(or in my case UEFI) touchpad option to "Basic".
But I've got dual booting Ubuntu-Win10 and using Windows with "Basic" option isn't satisfying.
So the question: how to enable touchpad without changing BIOS's options?
UPD:
Cannot set this option in synclient setting also:
synclient | grep Touchpad TouchpadOff = 2 synclient Touchpadoff=0 synclient | grep Touchpad TouchpadOff = 0 synclient | grep Touchpad TouchpadOff = 2
