I've looked for linux drivers for the V13, but on the Dell support pages there are so far only windows drivers. This machine is being sold with ubuntu in the US (and Mint which I am using is basically just a version of ubuntu). So does anyone know if there is a driver or another fix in ubuntu which would let the touchpad be recognized correctely? If your wireless adapter was not recognized, it might not be working properly or the correct drivers may not be installed for it. How you check to see if there are any drivers you can install will depend on which Linux distribution you are using (like Ubuntu, Arch, Fedora or openSUSE).

Hello there,
I`m new to these forums, i searched for solution and did not find any, for this problem.
I installed linux mint 19 on my TOSHIBA Satellite M50D-A-10Z, and the trackpad does not work.
What i tried:
1. Enable-disable function keys from BIOS: when they are enabled in linux is no need to pres FN button to activate function, otherwise FN + F.. works. The only combinations that do not work are +F4 (screen) and + F5 (touchpad).
