I have a dell inspiron 13z, and this driver works great. I recently installed the latest ubuntu mainline kernel, 3.7.1 and I could not compile the driver. Turns out a function, input_mt_init_slots, found in include/linux/input/mt.h has changed from 2 arguments to 3 arguments.

I modified the drivers so that all of the calls to input_mt_init_slots uses three arguments with the third argument being 0. The driver compiled and appears to be working fine.

I could make a patch if nescessary.
