When I upgraded my N5110 to the raring ringtail beta last week, the touchpad was no longer recognized. I believe I had the 0.4 version installed. I uninstalled and removed all of the existing DKMS entries and installed the 1.3 version downloaded from http://www.dahetral.com/public-download but the touchpad is still not recognized.

Has anyone been successful on an N5110 with this kernel? Any suggestions, or any tests I can perform to help resolve this?

Some potentially helpful info:
