themusicgod1, the next step is to fully reverse commit bisect from
kernel 3.19.4 to 4.1-rc1 in order to identify the last bad commit,
followed immediately by the first good one. Once this commit has been
identified, then it may be reviewed as a candidate for backporting into
your release. Could you please do this following
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/KernelBisection#How_do_I_reverse_bisect_the_upstream_kernel.3F
?

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

Thank you for your understanding.

** Description changed:

  When I login there is no pointer.  I unplug my mouse & replug
  again...pointer appears.  Has happened a half dozen times now, but not
  every time.  Might just be when I shut down after using the touchpad
  (usually I have the touchpad disabled).  This laptop has a touchpad and
  an IBM mouse.

  Has been happening for at least a month, probably longer, but seems like
  it started some time after October.
