Did you tried this?

sudo apt install xserver-xorg-input-synaptics

Also you could check the part where you should check if you have two touchpads in the following link:

Don't know if this will help, but have you tried to change the touchpad to basic in the bios. this worked for me on a different os.

I have an IdeaPad S145 and I think it's possible that the touchpad be the same. This post worked for me.

The workaround is to pass these parameters to the kernel.

i8042.nopnp=1 pci=nocrs

It's recommended to test before change definitely like this.

Good luck.
