[Bug 1425445] Re: Regression: 3.16.0-31-generic breaks touchpad on Dell XPS13 (2015)

 

I'll build a Utopic test kernel with a revert of d1c7e29 and post a link
to it shortly.

In the mean time, could you test the latest mainline kernel to see if
this bug was already fixed?  It can be downloaded from:

http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.0-rc1-vivid/

Title:
  Regression: 3.16.0-31-generic breaks touchpad on Dell XPS13 (2015)

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in linux source package in Utopic:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Today’s kernel update breaks the touchpad on the 2015 Dell XPS13. On
  3.16.0-30-generic the touchpad worked fine.

  Symptoms are that the touchpad stops responding at random times.

  A possible cause is this patch:
  https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=d1c7e29e8d276c669e8790bb8be9f505ddc48888
