** Description changed:

  This regression occurs somewhere between 3.11.0-14-generic (latest on
  saucy) and 3.13.0-031300rc6-generic (a test kernel). On the earlier
  kernel, I actually  get settings for setting up my touchpad in the unity
  interface. With the updated kernel, those options disappear. I only get
  one set of options both my mouse and my touchpad instead of each one
  independently. It means that I can't set the pointer speed differently
  or turn on natural scrolling for my touchpad.
  
  WORKAROUND: Execute at a terminal and then reboot your system:
  echo "blacklist i2c_hid" | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
+ 
+ Release Notes Text
+ Bug:1265885 On some Dell XPS13 systems the Synaptics touchpad is incorrectly recognised as a mouse.  See the bug for possible workarounds.
