Just installed Ubuntu 13.10, touchpad not working.

Someone asked this question in another forum; He says his touchpad doesn't even show up in xinput. I'm curious myself at to the solution. I'd

also like to get back to him with a solution. Any Linux guru's out there know, or can help direct us to a solution. Anything is much appriciated.
