[Launchy <launchy@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Christopher,
thanks for the tip. 
However, I tried to understand it with Ubuntu Debian mainline kernels etc. It is beyond my skill and possibilities. I searched in Google for examples, guidelines etc. Those I found were not leading me to the goal or they are on a skill level, that I do not have. I am sorry, I am an end user and not a developer. I don't even full understand the terminology .  In my point of view, bisection from that point on where one has to use git and make builds etc leaves "user land". 
So, how could we proceed? I would be happy  to test kernel builds up and downwards as I did it in the past.  However, someone is needed who has the skills to build the kernels, who could do that?
Besides this way, would it be possible to search in the commits for changes which affect directly the Elantech touchpad and build a kernel with and without these commits?

Title:
  [Acer Aspire One 725] Touchpad not working

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Touchpad will not work out of the box on this netbook. This is a
  regression from Oneiric to Precise+.

  a)WORKAROUND: Pushing Fn+F7 before login
  or
  b)WORKAROUND: Pushing Alt+Fn+F7 or Ctr+Fn+F7 after login makes the touchpad working. After reboot, I have to repeat a) or b) to get touchpad working again.
