[Bug 1354604] Re: Regression: touchscreen-as-input not recognized in recent kernels (Dell Venue 11 Pro 7130)
Hi Steven,
I tried again and I can confirm that it is single touch out of the box with all current i386 Images I tried.
I have no idea how to achieve multi touch (very limited experience with Linux on touch-enabled devices).
On a side note I received the battery-equipped keyboard dock today and it's causing kernel panics
and completely stops working (keys and touchpad) when you push any keyboard key after booting.
As long as you don't push a button the touchpad is working.
Do you experience the same?
Cheers, Alex

Title:
Regression: touchscreen-as-input not recognized in recent kernels
(Dell Venue 11 Pro 7130)
Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
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 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.
