Toshiba L505 Touchpad

I have been looking for a solution to this problem for months, but it never really bothered me until recently, when I've actually been using my laptop more on my lap.

My touchpad has not been working at all since I installed Arch. As I mentioned above, I've looked into this problem a great deal, and have viewed countless other forum posts and such that have assisted me in narrowing my diagnosis, but at this point I am stuck.

This is what's up:

I have installed xf86-input-synaptics.
