Description of problem: I have a DELL Precision laptop with touchpad and track-point integrated pointing devices. Both devices are working on 3.5.2-1.fc17.x86_64 but I cannot adjust setting using "System Settings" for the touchpad, neither can I disable it. All areas of the three tabs (General, Scrolling, Tapping) are greyed out and under "General" the "Information" box says: "Touchpad Name: Device not found". Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xorg-x11-drv-synaptics.x86_64 v. 1.6.2 kcm_touchpad.x86_64 v. 0.3.1 How reproducible: Try modify setting through: "Application Launcher" -> "Settings" -> "System settings" -> "Input devices" -> "Touch Pad" Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.

what's the output of xinput list?
xinput output: ⎡ Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)] ⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)] ⎜ ↳ PS/2 Generic Mouse id=13 [slave pointer (2)] ⎣ Virtual core keyboard id=3 [master keyboard (2)] ↳ Virtual core XTEST keyboard id=5 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Power Button id=6 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Video Bus id=7 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Video Bus id=8 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Power Button id=9 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Sleep Button id=10 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Laptop_Integrated_Webcam_E4HD id=11 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ AT Translated Set 2 keyboard id=12 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Dell WMI hotkeys id=14 [slave keyboard (3)]
Touchpad recognised as PS/2 generic mouse is a sign that the kernel does not set the touchpad into raw mode (usually because it isn't supported yet by the kernel). reassigning.
This is probably a duplicate of another bug we have open for lacking Dell touchpad support. What model number is your laptop?
The laptop is a Dell Precision M4700.
