Attached is the output of cat /proc/bus/input/devices sudo evtest /dev/input/event7 (after clicking and trying to move the cursor of course) xinput xinput list-props 13 lsmod The touchpad works with Ubuntu 14.04 (not sure about the kernel version) and is working fine in some of the built-in recovery- functions. I tried the obvious fn-key-combo for locking the touchpad, but it did not make a difference. USB-Mouse is working fine. uname -a Linux xxxx 4.4.0-16-generic #32-Ubuntu SMP Thu Mar 24 22:38:01 UTC 2016 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 16.04 Package: linux-image-4.4.0-16-generic 4.4.0-16.32 [modified: boot/vmlinuz-4.4.0-16-generic] ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.4.0-16.32-generic 4.4.6 Uname: Linux 4.4.0-16-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia_uvm nvidia_modeset nvidia ApportVersion: 2.20.1-0ubuntu1 Architecture: amd64 AudioDevicesInUse: USER PID ACCESS COMMAND /dev/snd/controlC0: stutzki 1886 F.... pulseaudio CurrentDesktop: Unity Date: Fri Apr 1 22:47:42 2016 EcryptfsInUse: Yes HibernationDevice: RESUME=UUID=45b1ef11-e9d4-4daf-9cb1-f253e996f6b4 InstallationDate: Installed on 2016-04-01 (0 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 16.04 LTS "Xenial Xerus" - Beta amd64 (20160401) MachineType: Alienware Alienware 13 R2 ProcFB: 0 inteldrmfb ProcKernelCmdLine: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-4.4.0-16-generic.efi.signed root=UUID=9bc7e2b8-0f93-4332-b217-19fdb84e9e0d ro quiet splash vt.handoff=7 RelatedPackageVersions: linux-restricted-modules-4.4.0-16-generic N/A linux-backports-modules-4.4.0-16-generic N/A linux-firmware 1.157 SourcePackage: linux UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) dmi.bios.date: 03/22/2016 dmi.bios.vendor: Alienware dmi.bios.version: 1.2.12 dmi.board.name: Alienware 13 R2 dmi.board.vendor: Alienware dmi.board.version: A00 dmi.chassis.type: 10 dmi.chassis.vendor: Alienware dmi.chassis.version: Not Specified dmi.modalias: dmi:bvnAlienware:bvr1.2.12:bd03/22/2016:svnAlienware:pnAlienware13R2:pvr1.2.12:rvnAlienware:rnAlienware13R2:rvrA00:cvnAlienware:ct10:cvrNotSpecified: dmi.product.name: Alienware 13 R2 dmi.product.version: 1.2.12 dmi.sys.vendor: Alienware To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1565094/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages Post to : kernel-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
