Hello,
I decided the day before yesterday to remove Windows and replace it with Ubuntu. After a laborious installation (apparently the manufacturer Acer is not a fan of Linux...), I found that my touchpad is not working...
I have been searching for solutions on the internet for 2 days and tried different manipulations but nothing has worked...
Here is my xinput list:
Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)]
? ? Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)]
? ? HID compliant device id=10 [slave pointer (2)]
? ? HID compliant device id=11 [slave pointer (2)]
? ? SYN1B7F:00 06CB:2970 UNKNOWN id=13 [slave pointer (2)]
? Virtual core keyboard id=3 [master keyboard (2)]
? Virtual core XTEST keyboard id=5 [slave keyboard (3)]
? Power Button id=6 [slave keyboard (3)]
? Video Bus id=7 [slave keyboard (3)]
? Sleep Button id=8 [slave keyboard (3)]
? HID compliant device id=9 [slave keyboard (3)]
? HD WebCam id=12 [slave keyboard (3)]
? AT Translated Set 2 keyboard id=14 [slave keyboard (3)]
? Acer WMI hotkeys id=15 [slave keyboard (3)]
Since the manipulations I've done, the SYN1B... has been added. I'm not sure why or what it is, but there it is...
If you have a solution to propose, that would be great! Because having to carry around a mouse is not ideal...

I placed the order, but unfortunately it didn't have the desired effect... The touchpad is still not working :/

Can you tell me more about your PC, the Linux distribution, and the difficulties you encountered during the installation?
It was running Windows 10, but as a first-year computer science student, I need Linux for my work.
I installed version 15.10 of Ubuntu (the latest one).
As for the difficulty, it seems that Acer is not very fond of Linux (according to what I've read here and there on the internet), something to do with a chip I can't remember... lol
Basically, I made a bootable USB with version 14.0.3 and it didn't work (I left my computer with my Systems teacher, who also couldn't get it to work...) I tried for 2 days in vain to make it happen, and I finally tested version 15.10 which also didn't work until I changed the boot mode (from UEFI by default) to Legacy, and now it works... But if I set it to UEFI, it shows me No bootable device...
So that's it, I think I've said everything.
