Hi Bernhard, yes, this is how it should be done. You can store the patch-file in the linux-3.16.0 directory. Then your point 4 is exactly what you have to execute.
But why do you want to compile the kernel? You said that Odie's workaround worked for you. It should also work with your new install and it is easier than the "real" fix. You would have to recompile every time there is a kernel update. I only do this because I still had problems with the KDE settings of the touchpad. -- 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.
