Did you try to open "System Settings"
and click on "Mouse and Touchpad", then select the "Touchpad" tab
and there select "Two Finger scrolling" and possibly "Enable horizontal schrolling"? |

based on the xinput information you showed, it looks like your touchpad is not being recognized as such, but rather, as a simple PS/2 mouse with no scroll capabilities. Dell has started using ALPS touchpads, which sometimes need some fiddling to make work, hopefully answers to this question will help you: How do I enable multi touch on a Dell inspiron n5110 with an ALPS touchpad? |

xinput --list, and add the resulting text to your question. I suspect your touchpad may not be being detected as a touchpad, but rather as a plain mouse. The information I request may help us better direct you to a clear answer. Thanks! – roadmr Jan 6 '12 at 3:40
