Lenovo Ideapad 320 - Touchpad doesn't work

Question

My touchpad is working with Windows, but not with Ubuntu. I believe I require drivers for Ubuntu. On the Lenovo site I can't find a driver for Ubuntu or for any Linux distro. Can anyone help?

Hay guys! today I have installed "Ubuntu 18.04 LTS" on my Lenovo 320 and mouse pad, wifi, sound, display brightness key everything works just perfect. So the issue is solved now. Thanks to Ubuntu 18.04 LTS

Solution 3

I was disappointed. Then I discovered a solution.

1. Upgrade your kernel to 4.13.* version. (Touchpad will work.)
2. If you are facing problem on wifi driver then, find out your wifi by lspci | grep Wirless. And then, install any driver that supports that model. A lots of open source drivers are available for linux.

I actually had 4.10 installed when I downloaded Ubuntu for my ideapad 320 and it wasn't working. Had to upgrade to 4.13.16 and works perfectly now.
