Bug Description
The touchpad on my Dell XPS 13 9333 is detected as "PS/2 Generic Mouse". I was previously running 12.04 which came with the laptop, and the touchpad worked fine. I upgraded to 13.10 by booting from USB and choosing the upgrade option which retains user settings (hence the stuff about /desktop/

Could you try to blacklist the i2c_hid module? You can do that by "echo blacklist i2c_hid > /etc/modprobe.
It looks to be related to this bug which is actually caused by the touchscreen.

Thanks piotr, I disabled the i2c_hid module and now the touchpad is identified correctly.

Joseph Wynn, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://
If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications-
apport-collect -p xserver-
Please note, given that the information from the prior release is already available, doing this on a release prior to the development one would not be helpful.
Thank you for your understanding.

After using the following fix 'sudo echo blacklist i2c_hid > /etc/modprobe.
The trackpad works great but I run into another issue. After a few sleep/suspend sessions (exact number is not predictable), the trackpad stops working and I'm forced to reboot. Has anyone else run into this problem and/or know of an easy fix? Seems like the trackpad is failing to reinitialized after sleep/suspend but I can't figure out the exact cause or solution.

I'm seeing something similar to xian98. I have i2c_hid black listed as described, but mostly use a mouse. After multiple suspend / wake cycles the mouse stops working and I have to reboot.
I'm also using touchpad indicator, and I would guess from its behaviour that some dbus messages aren't being generated (but haven't had the opportunity to track it down properly).
Christian Lucero / Alistair Grant, thank you for your comment. So your hardware and problem may be tracked, could you please file a new report by executing the following in a terminal:

Apologies for the spam - that was apport-collect. The issue still persists on Trusty.
Joseph Wynn, thank you for providing the requested information. The next step is to fully commit bisect from Precise to Saucy, in order to identify the offending commit. Could you please do this following https:/

I'm not sure when I'll have the time to do it, but sure, I can do a bisect.
In the meantime I've just tried live-booting Fedora 20 and unlike piotr, it picks up the trackpad correctly.

Hi Christopher,
Thanks for your reply (#10). The problem has only happened a few times, so it may be a while before I can submit the information.
Thanks again.

Hi, I've done a fresh install of 13.10 and the touchpad is detected just fine (without blacklisting i2c_hid).

I have the same laptop with fedora20 installed. touchpad works fine on ubuntu 12.04, on f20 it is recognised as generic mouse. Bug is probably caused upstream.
