Hi,
In the openSUSE forum thread at
news://support-forums.novell.com:119/putt1ck.5urkxb@no-mx.forums.opensuse.org, a
user of openSUSE 12.3 with an XPS13 has been forced to build a 3.9 kernel to
pick up the fixes to the Cypress touchpad in commit 81bb5d3.
After a quick glance at the patch, I think that it should be backported to Stable.
Thanks,
Larry

Thanks Larry - I didn’t know back-patching was so feasible!

It depends on how intrusive it is, and how many drivers it touches. This one is
for a single driver and is fairly simple; however, the final determination will
be among the patch author, the facility maintainer, and GregKH.
