Christopher, I am not 100% sure what a backport is but to try to answer your question, the touchpad stopped being recognised correctly after upgrading to 13.10 (and the scrolling stopped working correctly too). It was recognised correctly and functioned correctly in 13.04 and many previous releases going back several years.
I hope that sufficiently answers your question but if you need any further information please let me know and I will answer quickly. The problem as originally reported still exists. Nothing has changed. I would really like this issue to remain "open" until it is fixed. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-input-synaptics in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1254092 Title: Touchpad not recognised on Acer Aspire 5720 after upgrade to 13.10 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-synaptics/+bug/1254092/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
