James Turner 2012-03-02 22:43:36 EST On a fully updated Fedora 16 x8664 system on a Dell XPS 13 ultrabook, the touchpad isn't identified correctly and shows up as 'ImPS/2 Generic Wheel Mouse'. Because of this, the synaptics drive is not loaded and none of the touchpad features are available.

James Turner 2012-04-17 18:34:46 EDT (In reply to ) the problem is that currently there is no way for me to do a copy & paste with this trackpad on Xterm. Anybody has a solution for this? I have tried the liveCD for Fedora 17 as well, same result, it doesn't work there.
You will need to install xorg-x11-apps. Then create a script that contains the following /usr/bin/xinput set-prop 'ImPS/2 Generic Wheel Mouse' 'Evdev Middle Button Emulation' 1 I have gnome-session run the script on log in. This should enable middle clicking. Jonathan Billings 2012-06-26 10:51:38 EDT (In reply to ) That driver hasn't been posted upstream to my knowledge. It isn't in the linux-next tree either.
Just a heads-up, then. If it does get incorporated upstream, it does fix this issue. I built a custom fedora 17 kernel with the patch, and when I use that kernel it appears as a touchpad, with both horizontal and vertical scrolling and all those features.

Free, Libre and open source software (FLOSS) means that everyone has the freedom to use it, see how it works, and change it. GNU/Linux is a collaborative effort between the GNU project, formed in 1983 to develop the GNU operating system and the development team of Linux, a kernel. Initially Linux was intended to develop into an operating system of its own, but these plans were shelved somewhere along the way. Linux is also used without GNU in embedded systems, mobile phones and appliances, often with BusyBox or other such embedded tools. Join us on IRC at # on freenode.net!

Ubuntu Touchpad Driver
It works as a normal mouse (so no tap click and multi touch). I see some patches that got committed to the upstream kernel by Kamal Mostafa, I also know about the Ubuntu sputnik kernel that has the proper patches. I seem to be running the latest Fedora kernel that must have the driver but still it does not work. It is not a problem for me (I have been using Linux for sometime now) but my girlfriend expects it to work (she is a Windows user).
