Bug Description
Due to bug #1354598, my Dell Venue 11 Pro 7130 tablet is unusable as a tablet with the current Trusty kernel, so I have been attempting to find a more recent kernel for which the screen functions both as a display and a touch input device. No luck so far.
(Well, actually, oddly enough, that's not quite true: I installed the 05-Aug-2014 01:21 daily live CD of Kubuntu Active, which is i386 only, and *that* worked just fine, from a kernel/hardware perspective. But I'm hoping to get an amd64 kernel working.)
When booting either of the most recent Utopic kernel (3.16.0-6) and the kernel team's latest build of upstream (3.16.0-031600), the touchscreen is unresponsive to touch input, and inspection of the logs confirms that the multitouch device is not recognized as such.
Will run apport-collect. Also the udev logs attached to bug #1354598 may be interesting.
