This looks like a firmware issue. A multitouch N-Trig device should register a "MultiTouch" device with X. The X log posted in comment #3 does not mention any "MultiTouch" device. I have seen this once before on a similar N-Trig device. The solution was to fully update to the latest firmware available from the laptop vendor. I would look for a firmware update from Dell in this instance.
Unfortunately, the firmware updates are Windows executable files. There is no way to update the firmware in Linux yet. I am moving the bug report to Invalid as it's not really an issue with the Ubuntu kernel. ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Invalid -- no finger touch on dell xt2 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/393087 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
