Touchpad is not working anymore

[Diego Vargas]

So, windows inf/chipset have nothing to do with what now doens't work on
linux. My bad, I'm mixing stuffs.
I've been researching a bit and I found that maybe, I should update the
BIOS.
Supposedly, there's an option on the BIOS to activate/deactivate the
touchpad. I don't have that, only for the keyboard and the keyboard
backlight.

Also, I've found that using the function keys, Something like fn+f7 just
works and activates the touchpad. I don't have that, actualy I have those
functions keys directly.

I've done a `cat /dev/input/mouse0` and I get nothing when moving my finger
on the touchpad. compared to `cat /dev/input/mouse1` (which is the usb
mouse) it does returns some strange caracters.

So, I'm going to update the BIOS and then, I'll let you know guys what
happened.
