Crash on clicking "apply" on Dell XPS 13 9360

[Adam Demasi]

Dell XPS 13 9360 has both a compatibility PS/2 trackpad device and an i2c one. Settings can be changed on the PS/2 device, but after these are applied and before the i2c device settings are applied, the app crashes. I've now disabled the PS/2 device, so I effectively can't control any settings. This happens even if I don't change anything and immediately click apply.

From the command line, I see:

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Andreas Moog (ampelbein)]

This package has been removed from the Ubuntu development release, so I am closing all remaining open bug reports.

Sorry that we couldn't fix your problem properly, but gpointing-device-settings is dead upstream, buggy and completely unmaintained.

Thank you for your understanding and please continue to report any bugs you may find.
