Update
I ran dpkg -r for the image and headers, deleted the source directory etc.
I then went through your instructions again. This time removing the part you
suggested from the patch file
Well at least the nearest I could based on what was actually in the file as
I had it.

The dry run left a small added note at the end. Sorry I didn't note it down
but it was something about

Hunk 3 fuzzy 1 ( not the exact message but probably you will know from
this what it was )

There are a few differences in the menus in make menuconfig but these were
easy enough to spot.
The install of the image results in the new kernel being the default so to
get back to the original I need to ESC at the grub boot up.

Now with the new kernel the touchpad is recognised as synaptics and >>> does
work <<<
It is not entirely right but I think I could get over the small issues by
perhaps editing xorg.conf

Sadly my wireless card is not configured, not being available to the network
manager.
Also sound is still not available ( may be alsa )

Also at the kernel install there was a series of errors about a missing
firmware directory

However these are some other pieces of info which might help you.

With new kernel running :
