[sillyxone <1258837@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Just upgraded my E7440 to A14. The keyboard still has problem with
bouncing (hit a key and it could result in 2-3 entries of the same key
registered), I still need to have a delay for "Bounce Keys" in Universal
Access.

I haven't had any random mouse jumping with the touchpad since adding
the "psmouse.resetafter=1" as suggested by #5 (and possibly with recent
kernel updates). With the A14 BIOS, I don't have random touchpad jumping
without that boot param, even when holding down a key (Shift/Ctrl/Alt)
while moving the mouse. However, I've noticed that dmesg has a lot more
"lost sync at byte 1" messages comparing to having
"psmouse.resetafter=1" param, so I just put it back in.

In short, I can't tell if the A14 update helps at all on the erratic
touchpad problem. It doesn't offer any advantage for me, even for the
bounce key problem they claimed to fix.

Title:
  [Dell Latitude E7440] ALPS touchpad keeps having state reset

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in linux package in Fedora:
  Unknown

Bug description:
  The mouse cursor keeps on jumping around, and these messages appear in the log when it happens:
  Dec  7 21:57:26 wyvern kernel: [  648.133841] psmouse serio1: DualPoint TouchPad at isa0060/serio1/input0 lost sync at byte 1

  The touchpad is recognised as a "AlpsPS/2 ALPS DualPoint TouchPad".
  This is occurring with Ubuntu 13.10, though I have also seen this
  behaviour in the version of Linux Mint based on Ubuntu 13.04.
