Thanks to the work of Dave and David J (comment #295) and many others, I could finally make Ubuntu detect my touchpad as a touchpad on Latitude E6430u. I used version 1.1 of the driver.
xinput -list: ⎡ Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)] ⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)] ⎜ ↳ DualPoint Stick id=12 [slave pointer (2)] ⎜ ↳ AlpsPS/2 ALPS DualPoint TouchPad id=13 [slave pointer (2)] >From the Ubuntu setting, I could enable two-finger scrolling (default was on Edge scrolling which also worked). I also have two finger tapping as right click. However, I can't get any other gesture work (3- and 4- finger gestures described in the page below). @David J Here is a list of Ubuntu multitouch gestures that you can test: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Multitouch/ -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/606238 Title: synaptic touchpad not recognized on dell latitude e6510 and others To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/linux/+bug/606238/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
