Touchpad not working on Linux (Kali Linux 2.0) [Can't be detected]

Hey ROGers!, how are you all doin today :D? I'm new here to the Asus Rog community. Well as you can tell from the title,

I've just installed Kali Linux 2.0 on my HHD beside my SSD Windows 10. I had to reinstalled it multiple times due to GPU driver issues.
and everytime i boot my linux it cannot detect my touchpad driver! It's not working. I'v tried so many solutions but non of them worked.
I tried installing Gpointing with apt-get install gsynaptics and still the touchpad is not detected. even during the installation of linux i couldn't
use the touchpad so i had to use the mouse.

My notebook is : ASUS Rog G551VW [ GeForce 960M, i7-6700HQ, 1TB HDD( linux & my data ) 125 SSD (windows and program files), ]

here is my output of lshw:

and here is my output of: xinput



root@kali:~# xinput
⎡ Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)]
⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ ASUS Laser GAMING MOUSE id=11 [slave pointer (2)]
⎣ Virtual core keyboard id=3 [master keyboard (2)]

↳ USB2.0 HD UVC WebCam id=10 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Asus WMI hotkeys id=12 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ AT Translated Set 2 keyboard id=13 [slave keyboard (3)]





I went to Windows 10 -> Device manager -> pointing devices -> and i saw that the driver is : ASUS Touchpad driver
maybe this is the problem, does it support linux or no ? or how should i install it to get it wokring.


Thank you in advance!
