[Geoff Kelsall <misc@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The problem has occurred on all releases I have tested.

I thought there would be an option on my menu for both my standard
kernel which came with 12.04 and for the one I wanted to test. But there
is only one entry like that on the menu.

Not being a Linux expert I am a bit confused now whether I am running the latest kernel or not.
geoff@geoff-laptop:~/Downloads$ uname -a
Linux geoff-laptop 3.13.0-031300-generic #201401192235 SMP Mon Jan 20 03:46:44 UTC 2014 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

The touchpad is working fine now but I am on 12.04. and presumably that is because of the workaround. If I am indeed on the latest kernel I guess I need to temporarily remove the fix by doing:
edit /etc/default/grub
change line
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="i8042.noloop"
to
 GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=""
run sudo update-grub
reboot

Do you know whether I am on the kernel which needs testing and if so
should I take out the workaround to test?
