I'm using Mint 18.3 Sylvia in my Acer Aspire F 15 F5-573G-77ZP.
I have problem in using touchpad, this is when I enable touchpad in Mouse and Touchpad options, I can't move the cursor of touchpad. I mean wherever I touch on the touchpad, it acts as a left click. No moving. Only right and left click work, and movement does not.
How can I fix this?

I have both mint 18.3 and Win 10 dual boot, and the primary OS is Mint.
Thanks in advance
