Touchpad on kernel > 3.11.10

There is currently a minor problem with the touchpad on higher kernels. It seems that the touchpad initialises incorrectly because of i2c and PS2 interfaces.
Blacklisting the i2c-hid module

1. Open /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf in your favorite text editor.
2. Add the line 'blacklist i2c-hid' (no quotes)
3. Save and reboot
