XPS 9350: Issue with trackpad on Linux
Hello! Just istalled Ubuntu Gnome 16.04 and found ot that the trackpad freezes regularly and the only way to solve it if you tap two fingers or restart the computer.
I find that very annoying and if you guys have a fix for that, it will be great.
I installed the latest kernel 4.6RC4, all the synaptics drivers and etc and have read a lot about it online, but still no fix. It's not life-threatening situation, but it annoys me a lot, because I want everything to be perfect :D
More annoying is that sometimes the trackpad makes "random" clicks somewhere on the screen..
Booted live Ubuntu Mate 16.04 and Xubuntu 16.04 and the problem is there also.
It's not a developer edition, it's a Windows edition that I got from Microsoft Store, because they had a very good promotion -31.4% discount on Pi day 3.14.
It will be good if Dell starts making drivers for Linux, not just for M$.
If you have any information on how to fix it, it will be great!
Thank you for your support :)
I have a 9360 and the trackpad works good for me, although it needs to be adjusted for palm detection...which is a bit annoying.
What Dell specific driver are you using because I can't seem to find one?
For the xinput list, here is what I have...
$ xinput list
⎡ Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)]
⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ DLL075B:01 06CB:76AF Touchpad id=11 [slave pointer (2)]

Same here on my XPS 13 9360, the track pad stops working once a day in Ubuntu 16.06 installed by Dell.
Dell has specific Linux drivers though. The laptop is even certified by Canonical.
