Same here on Vostro V13 - it seems not to recognize the touchpad.

dmesg:
[ 19.947803] input: PS/2 Generic Mouse as /devices/platform/i8042/serio2/input/input11

/proc/bus/input/devices also do not show the Synaptic device

Only tpconfig sees the touchpad:

Found Synaptics Touchpad.
Firmware: 8.96 (multiple-byte mode).
Sensor type: unknown (0).
Geometry: rectangular/landscape/up.
Packets: absolute, 80 packets per second.
Corner taps disabled; no tap gestures.
Edge motion: none.
Z threshold: 6 of 7.
2 button mode; corner tap is right button click

I'm really confused why Dell is selling it with Ubuntu in that case...
