For those with the XPS 13's that still have a PS/2 interface showing up,
it looks as if that doesn't seem to 'break' anything.  The model I have
in the lab has a much older touchpad firmware on it than the ones you
guys have, so, that may be why things are showing up on your systems
like they are.

@Jens, I would probably wait for an official fix rather than try and
build and install your own kernel, especially if you haven't done it
before.  I would, however, give the test kernels a try  here:

The XPS12 has the same i2c touchpad as the XPS13, but, I'm not positive
about whether the touchscreens are the same though.  I may have an XPS12
in the lab that I can try this on, provided it will power up :)
