Hi Kamal/All

I've just installed 12.04 on my XPS13 and I'm also having troubles with the Cypress Trackpad drivers. I'm unable to see the trackpad tab under mouse settings, and thus can't get double finger scrolling or other multitouch gestures to work.

I don't believe I"m having the same issue as the folks with the 32-bit install, as I used the project sputnik iso to get going. Uname -i also seems to confirm this

brian@brian-Dell-System-XPS-L321X:~$ uname -i
x86_64

I believe the issue is the with the touchpad not being recognized as the new "CyPS/2 Cypress Trackpad" although I'm not too sure why. Looks like I have the newest kernel, but no luck with the trackpad. Any ideas?
