This is a relevant upstream bug https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14660 and there seems to be some difficulty in getting an acceptable fix in place.
Linus' tree as mirrrored here does not yet show any change in place: https://github.com/mirrors/linux-2.6/blob/master/drivers/input/mouse/alps.c Someone from Dell did submit a (large) patch but it was not accepted. See http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=support+for+Intellimouse+Mode+in+ALPS+touchpad+on+Dell+E2 This has been running since August 2010. There seem to be issues concerning suspend/resume and the more general applicability of the solution. For a specific laptop, your best bet seems to be to apply the one-line change from bug 754344 (although that doesn't give you a fully featured touchpad) ** Bug watch added: Linux Kernel Bug Tracker #14660 http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14660 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/749508 Title: Latitude E6510 : No Touchpad driver -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
