[Bug 1305522] Re: Backport Synaptics HID touchpad driver for 14.04

 

Thanks, all.

It turns out on my XPS 13 that I was booted to the wrong kernel, which
is why the PS/2 mouse device wasn't showing up.  Once I booted into
Aclean's test kernel the PS/2 device shows up in xinput.

My dmesg output is the same as what Hans is seeing.  The psmouse module
is loading up but fails to enable the mouse (which makes sense since we
are in i2c mode)...just not sure why it wants to load in the first
place.
