I blacklisted I2c_hid but it made no difference. Considering leaving Ubuntu for good, I mean what is the point in having a laptop if you have to carry arround an external mouse. This smells like a push to sell more touchscreen tablets that are useless for any serious work. -- You received

Hi All, This bug is back. Under Ubuntu 14.04 LTS kernel 3.13.0-74-generic , Thinkpad T520 I had a working SynPS/2 Synaptics Touchpad. Then I updated to 3.13.0-76 and the touchpad was not recognised (defaulted to standard PS/2). I tested several kernels up to 4.5-rc4 and they all failed in the

After a normal apt-get update today the touchpad in kernel 3.13.0-74, -73, -72 ,-71 and -70 are broken as well, so this bug appears not to be in the kernel but elsewhere. Just to recap. After an update today (15/2/2016) under kernel 3.13.0-74 (which was working) the synaptics touchpad is not
