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)
