Right, let me be more specific. I'm on Ubuntu 18.10, I downloaded the
latest kernel debs from:

https://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/

which at the time was 4.19.7. These are not the official kernels in the
Ubuntu repo, but they are builds from the Ubuntu team. You have to
download and install them yourself. I did that with 4.19.7. I was not
expecting the patch to be included, but a couple of days later I touched
the screen to wipe off a speck of dust and the page scrolled.

Still takes some work and I would not recommend it to a novice, but it's
quite a bit easier (and far less time consuming) than compiling from
source.
