I recently installed Ubuntu 14.04.2 and the release notes include "In an
effort to support a wider variety of hardware on an existing LTS
release, the 14.04.2 point release will ship with an updated kernel and
X stack by default. This newer hardware enablement stack will be
comprised of the kernel and X stack from the Utopic 14.10 release. "

I was able to build and use the patch on my Xubuntu 14.04 system, but I
get errors following the instructions on Ubuntu 14.04.2.

"sudo apt-get build-dep xorg-server" gives me:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 libegl1-mesa : Depends: libgbm1 (>= 7.11~1) but it is not going to be installed
 libqt5gui5 : Depends: libgbm1 (>= 8.1~0) but it is not going to be installed

If I download xorg-server-source, that's the 1.15.1 version and it
doesn't match what I'm running (1.16.0), right?  I tried downloading the
xorg-server-source-lts-utopic package, but it won't build.

"sudo fakeroot debian/rules binary"  gives me:
debian/rules:17: /usr/share/quilt/quilt.make: No such file or directory
make: *** No rule to make target `/usr/share/quilt/quilt.make'.  Stop.

I tried adding the PPA using utopic main and when I selected the xorg-
common package from it, it appeared it was going to uninstall dozens of
packages, so I didn't proceed with that.

How do I get this working on 14.04.2?

Title:
  [nvidia-prime]Freeze while using touchpad

Status in X.Org X server:
  Fix Released
Status in xorg-server package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Using Asus N43SL laptop as an example, with nvidia-prime installed, so
  the dedicated NVIDIA graphics card (GT 540m) is in use, once in a
  while, my screen will freeze when I use my touchpad.

  WORKAROUND: Use USB mouse.

  WORKAROUND: Uninstall nvidia-prime and use integrated graphics.

  WORKAROUND: Do a VT switch via Ctrl+Alt+F1 then Ctrl+Alt+F7.

  In the attached Xorg.0.log, you can see "synaptics: ETPS/2 Elantech Touchpad: touchpad found" each time I did a VT switch and regained control:
