Bug Description

'Synaptic SMBus Touchpad' (as detected by Windows 8.1 installation) on machine 'Medion Akoya P7631' doesn't work after a clean install of Ubunutu 13.10.

Having looked at the output from /proc/bus/input/devices it seems like the touchpad device is not being recognised at all.

The touchpad is functional and worked as normal on a version of windows 8.1 running on the same machine.
