Davi Ferreira, as per http://www.dell.com/support/drivers/us/en/19/Product/inspiron-14r-5420 an update is available for your BIOS (A19). If you update to this following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BiosUpdate , does it change anything?
If not, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command: sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful. For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette . Thank you for your understanding. ** Tags removed: dell inspiron touchpad trackpad ** Tags added: bios-outdated-a19 needs-upstream-testing precise ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Triaged => Incomplete -- 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/1044683 Title: Trackpad detected as PS/2 mouse Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: My trackpad is detected as PS/2 mouse.
