Latitude 5580 touchpad/track stick not working with CentOS 6.9
Bios 1.5.3
Service Tag: 8PLJWD2
Does anybody know how to get the touchpad and track stick working with CentOS? I have 3 of these new laptops and none of the touchpads work with CentOS.
The touchpad and track stick work great in the Bios, but not in the OS.
I realize that Ubuntu ships from the factory, but we have a requirement for CentOS (which is basically the same as Red Hat).
I tried a few fixes that I found on Google but no luck.

SNAFOO123,
Unfortunately, Dell did not create any CentOS drivers for this system.

Who makes the touchpad and track stick? Synaptics?

SNAFOO123 ,
The touchpad that is installed in the 5580 is an Alps Touchpad.

The Latitude 5580 touchpad and track-stick work with CentOS 7.4 out of the box. No additional configuring or drivers were needed.
