The following information is applicable to:
- anyone who wishes to do a fresh install of Ubuntu 12.04 on a Dell XPS 13
(or other laptop with a Cypress PS/2 Trackpad)
- users who have applied my DellXPS PPA, but still do not get consistent
trackpad recognition (xinput shows the trackpad as "ImPS/2").
The official "Project Sputnik" Dell XPS 13 LiveBoot/installer ISO has
just been updated to include the latest (kamal5) kernel from my PPA.
This ISO is basically an Ubuntu 12.04 installer, pre-configured to use
my DellXPS PPA and with a few extra "developer" packages installed, as
documented:
http://hwe.ubuntu.com/uds-q/dellxps/
Using that sputnik-iso-20120719-0.iso and the "USB Installation
Instructions" procedure documented there, you can prepare a USB stick which you
can use to:
1. test the Cypress trackpad functionality in the Live Boot test environment
(without modifying your actual installed system), and/or
2. install or re-install your system from scratch (back up your existing user
data first!)
The Sputnik ISO isn't necessary for those users who already have
consistent Cypress trackpad recognition (with my PPA kernel) -- its the
same driver.
Users with already-installed systems are recommended to just apply my
PPA: https://launchpad.net/~kamalmostafa/+archive/dellxps
