Hi there,

I'm runnig Arch Linux X64 on a Dell Latitude E5410. The version of X
Server is 1.10.1.

The laptop's touchpad is not recognized as "xinput list" only shows following:

⎡ Virtual core pointer                        id=2    [master pointer  (3)]
⎜   ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer                  id=4    [slave  pointer  (2)]
⎜   ↳ PS/2 Generic Mouse                          id=12    [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)]
   ↳ Power Button                                id=8    [slave  keyboard (3)]
   ↳ Sleep Button                                id=9    [slave  keyboard (3)]
   ↳ Laptop_Integrated_Webcam_2M                 id=10    [slave  keyboard (3)]
   ↳ AT Translated Set 2 keyboard                id=11    [slave  keyboard (3)]
   ↳ Dell WMI hotkeys                            id=13    [slave  keyboard (3)]

xf86-input-synaptics (1.4.0-2) and xf86-input-evdev (2.6.0-3) are
installed. The system runs on a 2.6.38.2 kernel.

Does someone have an idea on how to fix the problem? ;)
