** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu)
       Status: Confirmed => Triaged

** Description changed:

- This bug report has been produced to help improve the touchpad on a Dell
- Latitude E7440 on Ubuntu 14.04 alpha.
- 
  From the live usb the touchpad seems less jerky compared to ubuntu 13.10
  but is still not as smooth as Windows 7.
+ 
+ This may be due to how the touchpad is detected as a PS/2 mouse instead of a 
more appropriate touchpad driver:

+ [    4.088881] mousedev: PS/2 mouse device common for all mice
