I don't have any touchpad menu in "mouse and touchpad" settings.

Asked by Axel Wilhelm Einarsson

I'm using Dell Ispiron N5110.
Ubuntu 12.04
There isn't any touchpad menu in system settings "mouse and touchpad" so there isn't any way of manipulating the touchpad. I have tried some things and maybe there isn't a driver for it? This site is too complicated for lay persons so I couldn't geek my way to how to report this.

In what way do you want to manipulate the touchpad, maybe we can advise...
