My Lenovo S145's Synaptics Touchpad isn't working on any Linux distro, but it's compatible on my Windows OS (Dual Boot)

My Synaptics Touchpad isn't responsive at all. It doesn't react to any action i perform on it, even the right and left clicks. When i run xinput, it doesn't show up in the output or when i run cat /proc/bus/input/devices | grep -I touchpad.
I think this is a kernel issue and that my touchpad hardware isn't compatible at all on the linux kernel. I hope they patch this issue in an update, but for now, is there anything else i can do ? (BTW my wireless mouse works totally fine on it)
 


I am going through posts with no answer. I have a few minutes.

Which version of Linux are you using? If it's a Debian/Ubuntu/Mint type with APT, then try:

sudo apt install synaptic
