Hey guys, I recently got a new laptop, and am having an issue I can't seem to find anybody else having.

When I run ultimate edition, it works fine for a bit, but typically after I click on something with the trackpad, the trackpad seems to disable itself.
It doesn't come back on unless I restart, and it just happens the same way every time.

xinput list
⎡ Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)]
⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ USB Optical gaming mouse id=10 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ USB Optical gaming mouse id=12 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ DLL07BD:00 06CB:75BF Touchpad id=13 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad id=15 [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)]
↳ Sleep Button id=8 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Integrated_Webcam_HD id=9 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ USB Optical gaming mouse id=11 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ AT Translated Set 2 keyboard id=14 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Dell WMI hotkeys

I went through and tested a few older variants of Ultimate Edition, the oldest I tried was 2.6, and the trackpad worked, but I couldn't get the wifi to work, same with every version I tried up to 4.2.4, Ultimate Edition 4.2.4 is the first version I find where my wifi works, and my trackpad still works, I may just sit on it since everything just works for the moment, and I wanted the laptop for programming practice and steam streaming, both of which it works fine for while on 4.2.4.

Does this help?

I understood that newer Dells were no longer shipping with Synaptics Touchpads but a weird and obscure 'Cypress' one? ;) :D
