after last Update Touchpad stoped working

Question

I have a lenovo z510 which has an ALPS v7 touchpad. After the new installation of xubuntu 14.04 I used this fix to make it work. Now, After the latest kernel-update it doesn't get recognized anymore.

    xinput
 ⎡ Virtual core pointer                     id=2    [master pointer  (3)]
 ⎜   ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer               id=4    [slave       pointer       (2)]
 ⎜   ↳ Logitech USB-PS/2 Optical Mouse          id=11   [slave  pointer  (2)]
 ⎜   ↳ PS/2 Generic Mouse                       id=14   [slave       pointer  (2)]
 ⎣

I'm still running xubuntu 14.04, current Kernel 3.16.0-60-generic x86_64

edit: well, that look weird

I already tried that. But output says module is already installed. — passingbird, Feb 07 '16 at 13:22
But I suggest removing that package and installing new kernel. sudo apt-get install linux-generic-lts-wily. It should work without custom fixes. — Pilot6, Feb 07 '16 at 13:22
Please [edit] your question and add output of dkms status. — Pilot6, Feb 07 '16 at 13:25
I see. And I have no idea how I remove them. That's why I need direct help. :) — passingbird, Feb 07 '16 at 13:31

I suggest removing all custom packages and upgrading the kernel. Run:

sudo dkms remove psmouse/alps-1.3 --all
sudo dkms remove psmouse-dkms-alpsv7/1.1 --all
sudo apt-get install linux-generic-lts-wily

Reboot.
