Yesterday, i installed fresh copy of Elementary OS Freya on my Samsung laptop. But after installing i faced a weired problem that my touch-pad of laptop not working but every thing just working fine with external mouse.

So, i search on Google and find out so many solution but only the below one works for me.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:hanipouspilot/focaltech-dkms
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install focaltech-dkms
sudo modprobe -r psmouse 
sudo modprobe psmouse

I hope this will work for you as well if you are also facing the same issue.

To make it permanent create a file with below command you can use your favorite editor.

sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/psmouse.conf

add this line to file options psmouse proto=imps and save the changes.
