    A quick search makes it look like a common problem with Acer's.

    https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/223111/acer-aspire-touchpad-not-detected

    It has two optinos there. One is to change a BIOS setting for the
    touchpad from advanced to basic, which apparently fixes it, or you can
    do some manual fixing of the X config to make it work.

    Apparently even windows users sometimes have issues with the advanced
    mode setting. Advanced mode is apparently required to get swipe and
    pinch zoom and such to work. If you just want it to work as a mouse,
    basic is much more compatible.
