After two days of testing Saucy with 3.11.0-8 kernel the behaviour is the following:
Sometimes the touchpad works properly by default after a fresh boot. In this case it works coninuatively for hours (possibly it works permanently). Sometimes the touchpad does not work by default after a fresh boot (is completely inactive). In this case the touchpad is disabled, and it doesn't even activate with the relative Fn key. In this second case I try to reboot until, after about three reboots, it works by default. -- 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/1197491 Title: [DELL Inspiron 15z 5523] touchpad not recognised Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Both in Ubuntu 12.04 and 13.04 touchpad is not recognised on DELL inspiron 15z 5523. The output of xinput is PS/2 generic mouse. The touchpad is not working at all. Except sometimes the cursor moves randomly. In Precise, after a cold boot, the touchpad works only after enabling it by Fn key. But, after a while the touchpad stops working, and it is not possible to re-enable it by Fn key. After reboot it starts working again. --- AlsaVersion: Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.25.
