Bug Description
Dell has updated its Latitude laptop line and it appears that once again the touchpad is not correctly recognized.

There may be an additional issue here: this laptop has a "pointing stick" or "touchpoint" too. That and the touchpad get mapped on the same input. If I open the device file I can see data when I use any of them.
As expected the xorg synaptics driver will not work with this device:
(--) Synaptics Touchpad: no supported touchpad found
(EE) Synaptics Touchpad Unable to query/initialize Synaptics hardware.
This machine is one of the few laptop you can buy today without paying M$, at least in Italy. I think it's important to have it supported well. Anything I can do to help, just ask.
