One quick addition to me previous post - the BIOS update website given in a previous post, says the latest BIOS is
A05 7/8/2013 while on my XPS 18, dmidecode says A05 06/04/2013 I downloaded the one dated 7/8/2013 and ran it, but as I suspected, the installer says my computer with BIOS A05 is already at the latest. Not sure what the date discrepancy means. Also, this URL http://lii-enac.fr/en/architecture/linux-input/multitouch-devices.html lists apparently supported and some partially supported multi-touch devices for Linux. Don't know if anyone is aware if the XPS 18 touch screen device is on the list at the above URL. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1191008 Title: Dell XPS 18 touchscreen not functional Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: I have tried using an 13.04 x64 live DVD to run Ubuntu on a Dell XPS 18, and the touchscreen is not responsive.
