Thank you for taking time to report this problem and help making Ubuntu better. Unfortunately, we not always have no enough capacity to triage bugs on timely manner, so, does this problem still exist in any of supported Ubuntu releases? ** Changed in: xserver-xorg-input-synaptics (Ubuntu) Importance: Low => High ** Changed in: xserver-xorg-input-synaptics (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/632293 Title: ubuntu "certified" hardware misleading, and key contributor to lack of progress on bug #1 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-synaptics/+bug/632293/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I am also experiencing this problem. If it were possible to configure at least a scroll zone on the right side of the touchpad - it would have been wonderful!

Thanks, fuggum. I DID get a hassle-free RMA number with a promise of a full refund from Dell, although it may have been easy because it has been less than 21 days since purchase. What model did you replace the V13 with?

@bitinerant,i was able to return mine for a full refund. i advise you to do the same. my theory is that due to the architecture of the vostro v13 and latitude 13, it will be a ***very*** long time, if ever that any linux distro will support it. the synaptics touchpad is a child of a broadcom usb hub (part of bluetooth as far as i can tell) and broadcom is notoriously closed-source. too bad, as the vostro v13 is a very nice machine, but designed specifically according to the wintel paradigm. i've lost all faith in dell as a result of their overt lack of interest in supporting ubuntu and their horrible technical support. canonical is also fooling themselves with their sham of a certified hardware testing and certification program, and quite simply ignoring their own prime directive, bug #1. best of luck, cheers -- ubuntu "certified" hardware misleading, and key contributor to lack of progress on bug #1 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/632293 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I bought the V13 specifically BECAUSE of Ubuntu's certification with 10.04 and 10.10. However, the laptop is unusable because of this touchpad issue. Reading through Fuggum's research (see also http://www .mail-archive.com/dell-recov...@lists.launchpad.net/msg00030.html) and doing a lot of my own, I have just about decided to give up and try to get a refund from Dell. I am very disappointed in both Dell and Ubuntu. -- ubuntu "certified" hardware misleading, and key contributor to lack of progress on bug #1 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/632293 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I am also affected by this bug (Vostro V13 touchpad not recognized). Please fix it, as the V13 was purchased only for use with Ubuntu. -- ubuntu "certified" hardware misleading, and key contributor to lack of progress on bug #1 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/632293 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We appreciate the difficulties you are facing, but this appears to be a "regular" (non-security) bug. I have unmarked it as a security issue since this bug does not show evidence of allowing attackers to cross privilege boundaries nor directly cause loss of data/privacy.
