Touchpad not working Asus n551jm - Ubuntu 20.04

cn flag

This is my first post and is my first time using Ubuntu, so I apologize if I ask something obvious.

I have installed Ubuntu 20.04 and everthing works fine but my touchpad is not responsive. If I use Windows it works ok, so I am sure that this is not an hardware issue.

These are the info I get when I try to run cat /proc/bus/input/devices:

I: Bus=0011 Vendor=0002 Product=0012 Version=0000
N: Name="FocalTechPS/2 FocalTech Touchpad"
P: Phys=isa0060/serio4/input0
S: Sysfs=/devices/platform/i8042/serio4/input/input11
U: Uniq=
H: Handlers=mouse0 event4 
B: PROP=5
B: EV=b
B: KEY=e520 10000 0 0 0 0
B: ABS=260800010000003

Can you help to activate the touchpad ?

Thanks!

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
