I just installed Mint 14 on my Dell XPS 15. Having both the nvidia and intel cards, I installed bumblebee3.
All went fine, but when I rebooted, I had no more control of my touchpad. I am assuming this was something that happened during the bumblebee install. Normal USB mouse works fine.
I looked around but no other problem with Dells and touchpads seems relevant to my issue.
I tried the usual incantations
sudo rmmod psmouse
sudo modprobe psmouse (with and without proto=imps)
Edit: more details:
If I do
xinput list
I do not seem to see the touchpad:
