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. My xinput output:
Code:
⎡ Virtual core pointer                    	id=2	[master pointer  (3)]
⎜   ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer              	id=4	[slave  pointer  (2)]
⎜   ↳ 2.4G Mouse                              	id=9	[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)]
    ↳ Integrated Camera: Integrated C         	id=10	[slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ Ideapad extra buttons                   	id=11	[slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ AT Translated Set 2 keyboard            	id=12	[slave  keyboard (3)]
, it doesn't show up in the output or when i run cat /proc/bus/input/devices | grep -I touchpad, i get no output at all.

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)
