Allan Crooks, as per http://www.dell.com/support/drivers/us/en/19/Product/latitude-e7440-ultrabook an update is available for your BIOS (A06). If you update to this following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BiosUpdate , does it change anything? If it doesn't, could you please both specify what happened, and just provide the output of the following terminal command:
sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date

Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so
posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful.

For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette
.

Thank you for your understanding.

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

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  This is very similar to bug 1048258 - the mouse cursor keeps on
  jumping around, and these messages appear in the log when it hapepns:

  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.
