sem garantia, mas cavando na net, seu problema parece estar relacionado ao xorg.conf
Eu tentarei isso:
sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-input-synaptics
sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
adicione:
# **********************************************************************
# Modules section. This allows modules to be specified
# **********************************************************************
Section "Module"
Load "synaptics"
EndSection
# ******************************
# Files section
# ******************************
Section "Files"
ModulePath "/usr/lib/xorg/modules"
EndSection
# ******************************
# Core Pointer's InputDevice section

, em seguida, reinicie o X (esse último comando o levará para o login gdm, então salve o que você está fazendo antes!):
sudo restart lightdm
Deixe-me saber se funciona:)
