I just installed the 3.17.8 kernel. You can get the deb's from here: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.17.8-vivid/
For a 64-bit system you need linux-headers-3.17.8-031708-generic_3.17.8-031708.201501081837_amd64.deb linux-headers-3.17.8-031708_3.17.8-031708.201501081837_all.deb linux-image-3.17.8-031708-generic_3.17.8-031708.201501081837_amd64.deb and install the files with 'sudo dpkg -i linux-*'. If you want to remove it again just do 'sudo apt-get remove linux-headers-3.17.8-* linux- image-3.17.8-* && sudo update-grub' This version of the kernel includes the patch mentioned in #36. The touchpad works flawlessly now, including the KDE settings! Is there any chance that this patch will be included in 14.10? And does anyone know how security updated are handled for kernels obtained from here: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ Does the latest version of the 3.17 kernel always include the relevant updates? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1393079 Title: Touchpad not working after suspend/resume Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Ubuntu 14.10 on an Acer Laptop, model: Aspire E5-571G-941Y $ uname -a Linux Acer-Aspire-E5-571G 3.16.0-24-generic #32-Ubuntu SMP Tue Oct 28 13:07:32 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux Every time I suspend, the trackpad no longer works when resuming.
