Yes. I think so given my experience with it... The touchpad is utterly useless and unless we can find another E6510 to either verify or refute that, it should fail.

Title:
  [Latitude E6510] Touchpad is completely insane

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  The touchpad on the e6510 is completely bananas. B A N A N A S

  It's twitchy, there's not necessarly a correlation between where you
  slide your finger and where the pointer actually goes, the pointer
  jumps all over the place, clicks where it shouldn't and won't click
  where it should.

  The trackpoint device does seem to work well though... but the touch
  pad is bollocks.
