Comment 67 for bug 978807

Thanks for the feedback, folks.

(In reference to the DellXPS kernel PPA https://launchpad.net/~kamalmostafa/+archive/dellxps . . .)

@Simone, @psypher, @Chris Ian -

1. Please verify that you do have the latest PPA kernel version running. Run 'uname -a' in a terminal window, and verify that its output includes "#41+kamal2~DellXPS" (the new driver first appears in the "kamal2" version). You should not need to install any additional modules (xserver-xorg-input-synaptics should already be installed on your system by default).

2. The trackpad should be detected and enabled automatically; you do not need to do anything to "enable" it. In a terminal window, run the command 'xinput' and look for a line which says "CyPS/2 Cypress Trackpad". Do you see that line? If not, please post the line(s) that appear in the "Virtual core pointer" block, along with the output from 'uname -a'.

@psypher - You shouldn't need to have any customized Section "InputClass" at all, in your X11 configuration. Make sure you don't have any enabled InputClass blocks in any file under /etc/X11/

@Chris Ian - Yes, this driver was developed specifically to enable the Cypress trackpad in the Dell XPS 13 Ultrabook (to verify that our machines are the same model, run 'sudo dmidecode -s system-product-name' which should display "Dell System XPS L321X".

@Dennis, @Kyoungsoo - Thanks for your success reports.
