The output is as follows. Note that I tried to trigger some of the
events by doing the Fn+FX, but none gave a response.

Title:
[Dell Alienware 17 R3] FN+F11 Enable/Disable touchpad not working
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
The touchpad does not work as expected. It can't be enabled or
disabled through FN+F11 combination.
The light (in the pad) always turns on, regardless of its non
functionality.
The problem seems related to bug #1523738, and some say solution #24
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1523738/comments/24)
works, but it didn't for me.
WORKAROUND: Executing the following via a terminal allows one to disable and
enable the touchpad:
xinput set-prop 13 "Device Enabled" 1
xinput set-prop 13 "Device Enabled" 0
But it only works if it is enabled from the beginning from the systems
configuration GUI. If it is disabled, it doesn't do the expected
behavior.
