Title:
  Dell Inspiron 5555 touchpad not working

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Installed Ubuntu 16.04 64 bit (also Linux Mint and other Ubuntu 16.04
  based distros) on my Dell Inspiron 5555 AMD A10-8700P Radeon R6.

  The touchpad sort-of works for a few seconds (pointer moves but
  cliking fails) and after a while it hangs completely. The USB mouse
  works with no issues though.

  I've found following the steps given here
  http://askubuntu.com/a/632570/55128 works:

  1. Run
      $ sudo -H gedit /etc/default/grub

  In the open window edit line

      GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"

  it should look this way

      GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash i8042.nopnp"

  Save file and run

      $ sudo update-grub

  2. Run
      $ echo "blacklist i2c_hid" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/i2c-hid.conf
      $ sudo depmod -a
      $ sudo update-initramfs -u
      $ echo "synaptics_i2c" | sudo tee -a /etc/modules

  3. Reboot.
