You have a Focaltech touchpad and the driver from my ppa should work.

But it looks like I made a small mistake and did not add dependency of linux-generic-lts-vivid in the last version for trusty.

The driver did not install for your current kernel.

You need to run

sudo apt-get install linux-generic-lts-vivid

and reboot. That will upgrade your kernel and the driver will work.

I fixed that issue in ppa. Now it will force to install linux-generic-lts-vivid for Ubuntu 14.04.

Now version 1.5~trusty1 is building. It will be the last version in that ppa, because this driver is in kernel 4.0 and with my finger width patch in 4.2.

Focaltech touchpads will work in Ubuntu 15.10 out of the box.
