I'm looking for drivers for my touchpad on the Asus K501LB. I want the double-finger scroll function to work properly and other features available on Windows. Is there maybe another program for this I can install?

Ubuntu 15.04 with kernel 3.19.0-28-generic

You need to install the driver. Run in terminal

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:hanipouspilot/focaltech-dkms
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install focaltech-dkms
sudo modprobe -r psmouse
sudo modprobe psmouse

For Ubuntu 15.10+ Focaltech touchpads are supported by Ubuntu kernels. There are no packages for Ubuntu 15.10+ in the PPA.

For Ubuntu 14.04 kernel 4.2 can be installed from Ubuntu repositories. You will need to remove focaltech-dkms and upgrade the kernel

sudo apt-get purge focaltech-dkms
sudo add-apt-repository -r ppa:hanipouspilot/focaltech-dkms
sudo apt-get install linux-generic-lts-wily
