[SOLVED] Synaptics touchpad not working on Toshiba P850-12Z

Hi all,

I'm experiencing some issues with the touchpad on my Toshiba Satellite P850-12Z. I came from a Windows 8.1 install in which my touchpad worked fine as expected, and I was able to enable and disable my touchpad using FN + F5 keys. A few weeks ago I did a fresh install of Arch on my laptop and I saw that the touchpad was not working. After googling a lot I tried almost everything I saw on forums and also on Arch wiki with no luck.

I'm running out of options, and I was thinking that maybe you guys could help me.

The output of xinput list is:

⎡ Virtual core pointer                    	id=2	[master pointer  (3)]
⎜   ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer              	id=4	[slave  pointer  (2)]

Re: [SOLVED] Synaptics touchpad not working on Toshiba P850-12Z

After trying many things I was not able to restore the touchpad functionality from linux, instead I had to create a bootable USB with windows 7 and then I had to press Fn + F5 and it started working on windows. Then, I rebooted my machine to be on linux again, and the touchpad was working. Rebooted my machine again to see if it was permanent and it was still working so I think this issue is solved for me. I'll mark it as solved.

Before making all this I tried doing a cat to /dev/input/event14, and nothing was happening when touching the touchpad.

BTW the problem remains now in a different manner, now I'm not able to disable it with the Fn + F5 keys, but it's better than when it was not working and I was not able to make it work.

Thank you guys.
