My touchpad doesn’t get detected. I can use my touchpad as a simple mouse, but without any extra features like scrolling.

My notebook is a Toshiba Tecra Z40-A-11R. I'm running Elementary OS Freya (based on Ubuntu 14.04). My kernel version is 3.16.0-41-generic.

You have to update the kernel to at least 3.17 to solve the Toshiba touchpad problem.

The package linux-image-generic-lts-vivid provides a 3.19 kernel, so installing this should solve your problem.

In case it's not part of the Elementary OS repository, you can find it at http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/linux-image-generic-lts-vivid.
