I got my XPS13 yesterday, installed the image and ran updates.  I don't see any multi-touch goodness :/

nathan@sputnik:~$ sudo dmidecode -s system-product-name

Dell System XPS L321X

The Kernel it installed was built on the 9th.

nathan@sputnik:~$ uname -a

Linux sputnik 3.2.0-25-generic #40+kamal1~DellXPS-Ubuntu SMP Wed Jun 6 01:38:24 UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

The PPA is installed

nathan@sputnik:~$ cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/dellxps.list

deb ppa.launchpad.net/.../ubuntu precise main

deb-src ppa.launchpad.net/.../ubuntu precise main

deb ppa.launchpad.net/.../ubuntu precise main

deb-src ppa.launchpad.net/.../ubuntu precise main

It looks like on the PPA page this is the latest kernel: 3.2.0-26.41+kamal2~DellXPS

So, for some reason I am not getting it, am I missing something?

Nevermind, I'm stupid, needed to do a dist-upgrade

sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

Hey Barton, I'm extremely impressed with the entire project. It truly is a great idea that has renewed the outlook on Dell for many people. Never have I've seen such great support for Ubuntu and developers from a OEM. The entire way this project is organized is very professional and easy for the public to access. I'm especially pleased with the rapid development of the track pad drivers, and can't wait to see how this project spans out.

Has anybody seen any issues with the touchpad? I had ubuntu (Oneiric Ocelot)  installed on a  dell m6300 and periodically the touchpad would stop reponding and I would have to look for a usb mouse.
