@Kyle Fazzari - it turns out that my laptop has an Alps touchpad rather than a Cypress one, so the fix would have no effect for me anyway.. Searching for the error message had brought me here, so I presumed it was the same issue. I've opened up a separate bug for the Alps touchpad (see #1258837).

Just based on the last test that I did, it would seem that the drivers in use in kernel 3.5.0-31 are different to the generic mouse ones in kernel 3.5.0-30 (looking at the output from xinput) - rather than that a bug was introduced into the same set of drivers. If the generic mouse drivers work
