** Description changed:

  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.)
+ (Well, actually, oddly enough, that's not quite true: I installed the
+ 05-Aug-2014 01:21 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.
