Martin, the next step is to fully commit bisect from kernel 3.14 to 3.15
in order to identify the last good kernel commit, followed immediately
by the first bad one. This will allow for a more expedited analysis of
the root cause of your issue. Could you please do this following
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/KernelBisection ?

Please note, finding adjacent kernel versions is not fully commit
bisecting.

Thank you for your understanding.

** Description changed:

  I upgraded my (l)ubuntu to 15.04, which resulted in a non-detected
  touchpad, i.e., xinput does not list it.  I then tried various mainline
  kernels, with the following results.
  
  With the following kernels, the touchpad works:
  
  Linux Martin-Laptop 3.13.0-49-generic #83-Ubuntu SMP Fri Apr 10 20:11:33 UTC 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
  Linux Martin-Laptop 3.14.39-031439-generic #201504211206 SMP Tue Apr 21 11:09:35 UTC 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
  
  With the following kernels, it doesn't:
  
  Linux Martin-Laptop 3.15.0-031500-generic #201406131105 SMP Fri Jun 13 15:06:46 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

  Linux Martin-Laptop 3.16.0-34-generic #47-Ubuntu SMP Fri Apr 10 18:02:58 UTC 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
  Linux Martin-Laptop 3.19.0-15-generic #15-Ubuntu SMP Thu Apr 16 23:32:37 UTC 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
  
  4.0.0-040000-generic did not work either.
  
  On the other hand, 3.19.0-15-generic #15-Ubuntu SMP Thu Apr 16 23:32:37
  UTC 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux appears to be the first kernel
  with which screen brightness control works...
  
- With all kernels, I have a problem with shutting down the computer: when
- shutting down, at some (random?) point, the computer "freezes" and the
- screen remains on (with the lubuntu logo which is displayed during the
- shutdown process.)
- 
- Thanks for providing ubuntu!

+ WORKAROUND: In the BIOS, change Touchpad option from Advanced to Basic.
