Running Mint 17 in a couple of Virtual Machines.
Not got round to running it direct on the hardware, yet.

May be some help/advice here............................

It does seem that there can be a few problems with the track pad and even keyboard being recognised.

I run it on my son's laptop. Works well. Before I got it, I searched google for others who had put mint on the same variety of laptop to check all would be well.

I'm running Mint 17 on an old Asus EEEPC & trackpad is fine with that
Try the Mint forums for advice on how to identify your trackpad manufacturer & then follow up to check for problems & fixes.
