Title:
  Touchpad is treated as wacom tablet after upgrade to 16.10

Status in ubuntu-release-upgrader package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  After upgrading to Ubuntu 16.10: the mouse cursor movements became
  absolute (similar to Wacom tablets, but unable to reach the edges or
  corners of the screen), rather than relative to where my finger was
  initially placed on the touchpad. My laptop is a Lenovo Ideapad 310,
  but https://askubuntu.com/questions/865690/ describes the same issue
  happening on a Dell laptop.

  Manually installing xserver-xorg-input-all resolved the issue, which
  indicates that the decision to switch to xserver-xorg-hwe by default
  was severely premature.
