First, about the keyboard i don't know what happend with yours, on my notebook it works very well, i think that you will have to reinstall ubuntu to fix this.But for the touchpad has a simple solution, you will open the terminal (ctrl+alt+T), type sudo gedit /etc/rc.local and edit the file wich opened.

Before the line exit 0 you will add the following lines: sudo modprobe -r psmousesudo modprobe psmouse proto=impsSave the file and reboot the computer, i believe after this the touchpad will work. Another thing is about the videocard, it not works in ubuntu, i try so many solutions but anyone works.I hope i could help you, sorry about my 'english', its not my native language. I've got DELL XPS 15z too, and I just installed ubuntu 12.04.About videocard, I install Bumblebee with this commands: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:bumblebee/stableThen, I reloaded with: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgradeJust to be sure the system was up to date, and I installed: sudo apt-get install bumblebee bumblebee-nvidiaOne more thing to do: sudo usermod -a -G bumblebee $USERWhere $USER is your username. This is to allow you to choose the videocard later.Now restart your laptop, and enjoy! To test it, that's very simple: try this to command lines: glxspheresoptirun glxspheresAnd see! For me in the first case I have 1 to 2 fps, and in the second case I have more than 150 fps. So if you need to use the nvidia card, just add 'optirun' at the beginnin of your software launcher.
About keyboard and touchpad, I had the same problem you have, I mean: keyboard was working on grub loading page, but not after, on the login shell, and the touchpad was not working too. It take 5 minutes to do it.I solve the problem by adding acpi=noirq at the end of the boot line.The way I did the modifications was this:1/ During the first boot, I press e when I was on the grub loading page, then I gone to the begin of the last line and I came back by the left arrow. Then I just added there: acpi=noirqBut take care, maybe you have qwerty keyboard instead of azerty one (like me) so press q instead of a.Then, press ctrl+x to execute this command line.2/ Now you should be able to log in.3/ To keep this modification once for all, you should edit the grub command.
