I have recently purchased the new Dell Inspirion 3000 that comes pre-installed with Ubuntu. It came with Ubuntu 14.04 and some Dell bloatware, so I decided to do a clean install with Ubuntu 15.04. Unfortunately, now the touchpad doesn't work and I'm forced to use a USB mouse. Where could I possibly obtain a driver for the touchpad?
Here is the output from the xinput command:
