I experience this issue as well running Linux Mint 17.3 (based on Ubuntu 14). I updated to the latest BIOS (216) before I ever installed Linux on the machine (as suggested by Christopher) in a newer report of the same bug. It has no effect. The touchpad is not recognized at all. The hardware is just "too new."
