I just installed the 3.17.8 kernel. You can get the deb's from here:
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.17.8-vivid/

For a 64-bit system you need
linux-headers-3.17.8-031708-generic_3.17.8-031708.201501081837_amd64.deb
linux-headers-3.17.8-031708_3.17.8-031708.201501081837_all.deb
linux-image-3.17.8-031708-generic_3.17.8-031708.201501081837_amd64.deb

and install the files with 'sudo dpkg -i linux-*'. If you want to remove
it again just do 'sudo apt-get remove linux-headers-3.17.8-* linux-
image-3.17.8-* && sudo update-grub'

This version of the kernel includes the patch mentioned in #36. The
touchpad works flawlessly now, including the KDE settings!

Is there any chance that this patch will be included in 14.10?

And does anyone know how security updated are handled for kernels obtained from here:
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/
Does the latest version of the 3.17 kernel always include the relevant updates?

Title:
  Touchpad not working after suspend/resume

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Ubuntu 14.10 on an Acer Laptop, model: Aspire E5-571G-941Y
  $ uname -a
  Linux Acer-Aspire-E5-571G 3.16.0-24-generic #32-Ubuntu SMP Tue Oct 28 13:07:32 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

  Every time I suspend, the trackpad no longer works when resuming.

  I see several other people have the same issue with the same laptop here:
  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2250002
  (some people say it's a 14.10 specific problem)

  I realize this report is very poor but please don't hesitate to request data / clarifications from me, I'll be happy to help.
