Machine: HP EliteBook 2760p.
Ubuntu 16.04
Kernel version: 4.6.2 (Same with stock Ubuntu kernel)

Problems:

I tried to sue hand touch on the screen and the cursor does not move or take event (selection etc.).

In the mean time if I use mouse (touch pad or external USB mouse) I can still move the cursor and do all actions.

If I use the stylus pen and touch the screen, it works like normal.

If I downgrade the kernel version to 4.0.9 all things work.

Please let me know any other information you may need.

Kernel config is attached.
