My system is small enough that I don't keep old kernels and I was unable 
to convince Synaptic to force an old version, so I don't know.  I ended 
up reinstalling Ubuntu using the Haswell Chromebook script 
http://chromeos-cr48.blogspot.com/2013/10/chrubuntu-for-new-chromebooks-now-with.html
 
which gave 3.11.0.15.16 according to Synaptic and the Software Center, 
and the touchpad worked fine after that, but I don't know if that's the 
older kernel, and Synaptic and the Software Center list that as the 
latest, or if it's the special install.

Really sorry I couldn't be of more help.
