I can help with that: Kernel 3.17 enables my laptop's (Lenovo Flex 14) touchpad to be recognised while 3.16 doesn't. This is an ALPS v7 device, which got added by way of this commit https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=3... and so missed 3.16.x series. With 13.2, therefore, my touchpad does not work (it is recognised as PS/2 mouse and that is even worse!), but I upgraded to 3.17.1 from Kernel:Stable and it works now. This is not an exotic device either: most recent Lenovo laptops in the Yoga and Flex series come with this or a synaptic touchpad whose support also only got added to Kernel 3.17.
Could you open the ticket in our bugzilla, the commit seems to able to be easily backported to 3.12 kernel.
Wow! That would be amazing (assuming you meant 3.16 kernel, the one released with openSUSE 13.2?). Here goes the bug report: http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=903542 . Would be highly appreciated if this fix can be backported, indeed.
