I have a strange problem with my notebook: Ubuntu recognizes the touchpad as a mouse and I can't use the double finger scrolling. When I open "mouse settings" here's what appears:

I found only solutions for older Ubuntu versions.

EDIT:

xxxx@yyyy:~$ xinput

What is the kernel version uname -a? If it is 4.2, then this touchpad is not supported in Ubuntu 15.10. It is supported in Ubuntu 14.04 with xenial kernel or Ubuntu 16.04. – Pilot6 Apr 17 '16 at 10:28

This touchpad should work on Ubuntu 14.04 after you install 4.4 kernel by

sudo apt-get install linux-generic-lts-xenial

or in Ubuntu 16.04 out of the box.

This touchpad is not supported by Ubuntu 15.10.

Do you run it on 14.04? – Pilot6 Apr 17 '16 at 10:44
    
sorry, I didn't run it on 14.04. I will wait for the 16.04 release. Thank you for the answer :) – Peter Apr 17 '16 at 10:49
