Synaptics drivers are not loading on Kubuntu 14.10 on Toshiba Portege R30-A X3300

[Alok Singh Mahor]

Hello Group,
I am using Toshiba Portege R30-A X3300 with Kubuntu 14.10. everything is working fine except scrolling and multitouch features.
In the Start-menu > Settings > System Setting > input devices > Touchpad. I am seeing message "Synaptics driver is not installed (or is not used)"

output of xinput list is:
root@alok-PORTEGE-R30-A:/home/alok# xinput list
⎡ Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)]
⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ PS/2 Generic Mouse id=11 [slave pointer (2)]
⎣ Virtual core keyboard id=3 [master keyboard (2)]
↳ Virtual core XTEST keyboard id=5 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Power Button id=6 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Video Bus id=7 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Power Button id=8 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ TOSHIBA Web Camera - HD id=9 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ AT Translated Set 2 keyboard id=10 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Toshiba input device id=12 [slave keyboard (3)]

output of synclient -l is:
root@alok-PORTEGE-R30-A:/home/alok# synclient -l
Couldn't find synaptics properties. No synaptics driver loaded?

xserver log and dmesg dont have trace of synaptics. kindly tell me how to solve this problem?

I tried http://askubuntu.com/questions/397677/synaptics-drivers-are-not-loading-on-kubuntu-13-10-on-dell-vostro-2420 and https://www.kubuntuforums.net/showthread.php?66624-Touchpad-options-not-available-in-system-settings but not working for me.

Have you installed the xorg synaptics driver? Its called
xf86-input-synaptics in Arch Linux.

Try and see in dmesg if the driver was loaded.
$ dmesg | grep synaptics

Try and see in dmesg if the driver was loaded.
$ dmesg | grep synaptics

I have mentioned this in my first email that there is no trace of sysnaptics in xserver and dmesg log
