2016-09-19 16:37:23 Timo Jyrinki description I think this may have lost in the noise of bug #1609745, and I'm uncertain how to change the bug anymore to affect yakkety's to-be-kernel instead of bisecting 4.4 functionality of the option which is a different topic. So this bug is now about that the 4.8 kernel from ppa:canonical-kernel-team/ppa has lost the option CONFIG_TOUCHSCREEN_ELAN in Ubuntu ("not set"), which is a regression from 4.4 kernels where it was still enabled as a module. Please enable it again, since in 4.8 the touchscreen functionality would work pretty well, unlike in 4.4.

Remains unset in 4.8.0-12.13. Please enable it again, since in 4.8 the touchscreen functionality would work pretty well, unlike in 4.4.
