I really disappointed by this changes in kernel 4.4.0-64. Before I had working touchpad(tap as click, two finger scrolling) with stick which was worked out off box. Thing is it is only possible to change using Unity Tweak Tool. But now it is completle useless. I disable touchpad permanantly for time beeing. Because palm rejection is completely disaster, it recognize mypalms as two fingre touches. Before everything worked with evdev. Currently evdev driver cannot handle touchpad it just recognize taps and touchpad button clicks on my Latitude e7470. :( I hope somebody can publish working configuration or some patch that help me revert back to old "ImPS/2 BYD TouchPad" or make evdev working again.
