Comment 42 for bug 1349572

Thanks, please keep me posted. I wouldn't suggest using that kernel long-term since it's unsupported, but if it continues working well maybe we can continue testing more kernels to try and determine what changed to fix the problem.

As for the touchpad, my first guess would be that you have a DKMS module for it. If that's the case you'll also need to install the linux-headers-*_all.deb and linux-headers-*_amd64.deb packages to get it working. I think installing the packages should trigger a rebuild, but if the touchpad still doesn't work (after rebooting) you might try running 'sudo dkms autoinstall' and rebooting again to see if that helps.
