Hello, I have exactly the same problem with that Hardware (HP Pavilion X2 12-b003nf), with a live CD (I don't want to definitly install it until I'm sure it works fine).
I tried the last Ubuntu 16.10 daily (the one from october, 8th with Kernel 4.8.0.21.30) without success. According to the kernel list, the patch for this Synaptics Touchpad (F12 function) has been integrated but it still doesn't work. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1611081 Title: [HP Pavilion x2 - 12-b003nf (ENERGY STAR)] Synaptics touchpad not configured by HID RMI Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Hello, The touchpad on the HP Pavilion X2 is not configured properly by hid_rmi and therefore is not detected at all later on by Xorg.
