Comment 19 for bug 760142

I have the same issue with a new Dell Latitude E5520 that I bought about a month ago. Touchpad is recognized as a PS/2 Mouse, so I don't have a "Touchpad" setting under Mouse in System Settings (kubuntu natty) and can't access any touchpad features, although vertical scrolling does work.
