Hello, Thanks for your reply. I remember that I did play around with kernal change as my first attempt to fix the touchpad issue, but can not confirm changing to other Kernal intentionally. And the problems with 18.04 persist since day-1.
The steps I followed for testing the latest Kernal: 1. uninstall Oracle Virtual Box 2. Download linux-headers-4.19.0-041900rc2-generic_4.19.0-041900rc2.201809022230_amd64.deb from [0] 3. Got error while installing the latest kernal [1] 4. While google around for how to fix the issue, found this page [2], the installation failed as well giving series of error messages [3] If there is a way to fix these problems, I would be really keen to try them. But as you know, that this is affecting my work, so I might wanna try lower version, I did a test with USB installed 16.04, everything worked with that. In my understanding, if I installed that, then also it would keep working fine?

After a lot of googling and trying around, I managed to make it work in the sense that i could move cursor here and there, but still it has numbers of problems. Here is the list of problems it still has: 1. The scrolling does not work at all, it never worked. 2. It is dead after each restart and I have to provide this commands to make it work, so that the cursor could move. sudo modprobe -rv psmouse sudo modprobe -v psmouse proto=imps 3. The typing of the keyboard does not work smoothly, which make me really difficult to work. For example: I ended up typing this ''he list Here is the pr to repoty I want thatoblem of t'' when I want to type: 'Here is the list of problems that I want to report' 4. The left and right touch is really hard.
