i just freshly installed lubuntu 16.04 on my acer aspire m3 581tg.everything seems to work fine except the touchpad.apart from the trickiness of getting the configuration right in lubuntu, the bottom edge of the touchpad is generally unresponsive. sometimes it will work if i move my finger from further up and continue along the bottom edge, but if i start from there, it's numb. moving up from there about 2cm it starts to respond again.also all over the touchpad it can occasionally be too slow to respond or freezes.i was previously running ubuntu 14.04 and had no problems, was very satisfied with how the touchpad worked.i'm wondering if this is a hardware issue or not.xinput returns:xinput Virtual core pointer                      id=2    [master pointer  (3)]    Virtual core XTEST pointer                id=4    [slave  pointer  (2)]    ETPS/2 Elantech Touchpad                  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)] Power Button                              id=8    [slave  keyboard (3)] Sleep Button                              id=9    [slave  keyboard (3)] Video Bus                                 id=10   [slave  keyboard (3)] 1.3M HD WebCam                            id=11   [slave  keyboard (3)] AT Translated Set 2 keyboard              id=12   [slave  keyboard (3)] Acer WMI hotkeys                          id=14   [slave  keyboard (3)]andsynclient -lreturns:Parameter settings:LeftEdge                = 130RightEdge               = 3130TopEdge                 = 123BottomEdge              = 2159FingerLow               = 1FingerHigh              = 1MaxTapTime              = 0MaxTapMove              = 175MaxDoubleTapTime        = 100SingleTapTimeout        = 180ClickTime               = 100EmulateMidButtonTime    = 0EmulateTwoFingerMinZ    = 282EmulateTwoFingerMinW    = 7VertScrollDelta         = 79HorizScrollDelta        = 79VertEdgeScroll          = 1HorizEdgeScroll         = 0CornerCoasting          = 0VertTwoFingerScroll     = 1HorizTwoFingerScroll    = 1MinSpeed                = 1MaxSpeed                = 1.75AccelFactor             = 0.0502639TouchpadOff             = 0LockedDrags             = 0LockedDragTimeout       = 5000RTCornerButton          = 2RBCornerButton          = 3LTCornerButton          = 0LBCornerButton          = 0TapButton1              = 1TapButton2              = 3TapButton3              = 0ClickFinger1            = 1ClickFinger2            = 3ClickFinger3            = 0CircularScrolling       = 0CircScrollDelta         = 0.1CircScrollTrigger       = 0CircularPad             = 0PalmDetect              = 0PalmMinWidth            = 10PalmMinZ                = 200CoastingSpeed           = 20CoastingFriction        = 50PressureMotionMinZ      = 30PressureMotionMaxZ      = 160PressureMotionMinFactor = 1PressureMotionMaxFactor = 1ResolutionDetect        = 1GrabEventDevice         = 0TapAndDragGesture       = 1AreaLeftEdge            = 0AreaRightEdge           = 0AreaTopEdge             = 0AreaBottomEdge          = 0HorizHysteresis         = 19VertHysteresis          = 19ClickPad                = 1RightButtonAreaLeft     = 1630RightButtonAreaRight    = 0RightButtonAreaTop      = 1871RightButtonAreaBottom   = 0MiddleButtonAreaLeft    = 0MiddleButtonAreaRight   = 0MiddleButtonAreaTop     = 0MiddleButtonAreaBottom  = 0i guess this is maybe already a problem as the touchpad is not a synaptics touchpad...how can i set up the config files so this will work properly? or could it be a hardware problem? how can i tell? also, is there a way to thoroughly configure the touchpad through a GUI, or can it only be done via editing configuration files?
