So I loaded the module, there are no messages generated in dmesg as a result.
Also, I ran this in another window while loading the module just to make sure: # udevadm monitor monitor will print the received events for: UDEV - the event which udev sends out after rule processing KERNEL - the kernel uevent KERNEL[1230.288508] add /module/hid_multitouch (module) KERNEL[1230.288646] add /bus/hid/drivers/hid-multitouch (drivers) UDEV [1230.289076] add /module/hid_multitouch (module) UDEV [1230.289442] add /bus/hid/drivers/hid-multitouch (drivers) Looks like the only udev events are related to the module and driver load. There's nothing about the input device itself. Also, no new devices show in "xinput list". -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1265885 Title: regression: SynPS/2 touchpad detected as DLL060A:00 pointer Status in Release Notes for Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “linux” source package in Trusty: Fix Committed Bug description: 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.
