Title:
  Regression: touchscreen-as-input not recognized in recent kernels
  (Dell Venue 11 Pro 7130)

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Due to bug #1354598, my Dell Venue 11 Pro 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 bug #1354598
  may be interesting.
