I have the same problem with my Dell Inspiron 13 7000 running Ubuntu 14.10 and followed the instructions in the thread at ubuntuforums but it still doesn't work. Also, the right mouse button does not work. Can anybody help?

That thread is closed.

Anyway, this is the script that worked for me in the Inspiron 13 7000:

/etc/pm/sleep.d/0000trackpad
#!/bin/sh
case "$1" in
    resume|thaw)
        modprobe -r hid_multitouch && modprobe hid_multitouch ;;
esac
