Upon upgrade, my trackpad is no longer functional and I am forced to use an external mouse. I don't have an extra mouse that I can just drag around with the laptop, nor do I wish to purchase one to use when I have a trackpad on the laptop itself. Dmesg doesn't show anything about the driver failing to load and syslog shows nothing either. I know this is a common issue with this kind of trackpad but I hope to see a fix soon so I can go back to using Ubuntu normally To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1726934/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages Post to : kernel-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
