Hello:

I'm hoping someone can help me fix this issue because I have been racking my brain trying to make this work. currently I am Kali on an Alienware 13 (I know, I know bleeding edge hardware and linux don't mix..) I have kde touchpad for the gui installed and I keep getting running into this when I run it or Xinput
⎡ Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)]
⎜ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ PNP0C50:00 06CB:76E9 UNKNOWN id=11 [slave pointer (2)] (This is the issue line here)

When I check Xorg I find:

I don't see the error here, it seems to be ignoring the duplicate and it is loading the synaptic driver because if I run synclient I get this:

I'm not new to linux but I'm not hardware advanced. Somehow I had got this working before slamming dozens of tests runs at the problem with out proper methodology and then my harddrive died. I'm looking to figure out this issue once and for all and the steps to correct it. The only thing I have currently done is try blacklisting i2c_hid as I can see it loading at the beginning attached to the device but that did nothing.


Any help would be appreciated, Thanks.

Refloat!!! (I know that this is a really old post)

I'm having a similar issue with my Alienware 13, although my problem would be deeper. The fact is that my touchpad isn't working on Linux, in any distro.

I installed xinput and it isn't showed there


⎡ Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)]
⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ SI id=11 [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)]
↳ SI id=10 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Integrated_Webcam_FHD id=12 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ AT Translated Set 2 keyboard id=13 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Dell WMI hotkeys

I expected something like


⎜ ↳ DLL068B:00 06CB:76E9 UNKNOWN id=12 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ PS/2 Synaptics TouchPad id=14 [slave pointer (2)]

But it isn't the case so I did a "dmesg -| grep 06CB" and it shows:

[ 11.969125] hid-rmi 0018:06CB:76E9.0004: Device failed to be properly configured

and in the /var/log/Xorg.0.log it shows:


[ 26.245] (II) config/udev: Adding input device DLL068B:00 06CB:76E9 (/dev/input/event7)
[ 26.245] (II) No input driver specified, ignoring this device.

So I think that it might be either a hid_rmi problem, a Xorg problem or both problems at the same time. I was wondering if someone can put me in the right direction, any help will be apreciated and, in particular I wanted to ask you if you have solved your problem and you have the touchpad fully working under linux
