Public bug reported:

Due to bug #1354598, my Dell Venue Pro 11 7130 tablet is unusable as a
tablet with the current Trusty kernel, so I have been attempting to find
a more recent kernel for which the screen functions both as a display
and a touch input device. No luck so far.

(Well, actually, oddly enough, that's not quite true: I installed a
recent [August 5, I think; I can check] daily live CD of Kubuntu Active,
which is i386 only, and *that* worked just fine, from a kernel/hardware
perspective. But I'm hoping to get an amd64 kernel working.)

When booting either of the most recent Utopic kernel (3.16.0-6) and the
kernel team's latest build of upstream (3.16.0-031600), the touchscreen
is unresponsive to touch input, and inspection of the logs confirms that
the multitouch device is not recognized as such.

Will run apport-collect. Also the udev logs attached to #1354598 may be
interesting.
