A small update: I have upgraded my system to Linux Mint 18.1. However, there are problems installing new kernels and it has stuck with the old 3.16.0-24 kernel from before the upgrade. From the update manager I tried installing both the standard 4.4 kernel that should've been installed in the upgrade and the latest possible one, 4.10-24. In both cases there are errors with the locale en_US:utf8 and, more relevant here, it shows there's an issue in the driver for the Elantech touchpad. Despite these errors, the update manager says the kernel installed, but when rebooting I cannot boot into the newer kernels. What should I do?

Both the touchscreen and the touchpad function as a regular mouse, but the touchpad shows up as an ITE Tech. Inc. ITE Device(8910) pointer in xinput (see attachment). Multitouch and scrolling however, do not function, nor do options for this show up in the Mouse & Touchpad options in Ubuntu 14.10 64-bit.
