Linux drivers for DELL Latitude E6430 Touchpad
Download this (currently newest package is 1.3): http://www.dahetral.com/public-download
(Really say thank you to these people who wrote this driver, God bless them!)
Untar and copy (as root) the psmouse-alps-X.x folder to your /usr/src directory (now X.x = 1.3).
Once copied just run these commands :
$ sudo dkms add psmouse/alps-X.x
$ sudo dkms autoinstall
$ sudo rmmod psmouse && sudo modprobe psmouse
Now you'll find the TouchPad tab under mouse settings and you can enable scrolling and so.. just because now is considered a touchpad and not a PS wheel mouse.
NOTE: if a new driver comes just the new one in /usr/source and repeat the procedure.
For cleaniniess remove the old one with :
$ sudo dkms remove psmouse/alps-X.x --all
Where X.x is the number of the old version to remove from dkms.
Then you can also remove the relative folder.

Sorry, I do not have this machine anymore.
Of memory, the webcam had been recognized without doing anything.
