Ubuntu – How to get the Touchpad Settings working on a Dell XPS 13″ Ultrabook

delltouchpadxps

Today I got an brand new Dell XPS 13 and I really like it. Wifi/Bluetooth/Brightness works very well. But only the Touchpad makes me insane. Okay, Multitouch is really nice and i love it on my Macbook but… i must click to click. How can I set up that is an "touch" to click?

Its makes me insane.

click, click, click.. Can I configure it?

Update: I checked the proc/devices and got:

I: Bus=0011 Vendor=0002 Product=0005 Version=0000
N: Name="ImPS/2 Generic Wheel Mouse"
P: Phys=isa0060/serio1/input0
S: Sysfs=/devices/platform/i8042/serio1/input/input11
U: Uniq=
H: Handlers=mouse0 event11 
B: PROP=0
B: EV=7
B: KEY=70000 0 0 0 0
B: REL=103

Its really bad – and anyone have an Idea that Ubuntu thinks that is an Touchpad??

Add this PPA to your system:

The changes will hopefully eventually make it into the Ubuntu archive's kernel, but for now that will enable things.
