Anyone have a guess as to when the problems (blank screen and having to move mouse to get desktop to be displayed) that were caused by
use of Linux Kernel #4.15.0.24, might be fixed ?
Thanks.

Re: Kernel #24 problems
Guessing when 4.15.0.25 is released. ?? yeah.
I'm just not running the problem Kernel.
Re: Kernel #24 problems
They can only be fixed by using a different kernel. Fall back to a previous version via the GRUB2 menu and then remove -24 until a newer version is released.
That may take a while yet - the Ubuntu guys are in no hurry since they revoked -24 weeks ago, Mint users are only still getting it due to a bug in the Update Manager. bionic-proposed has a fixed version -28 that's currently in certification testing but the next version (-29) is already in the works as well so we'll likely have to wait for that one at least.

I hope that there will soon be a kernel release that fixes the problem of Synaptic touchpad freezes that affects LM 19 with the default kernel
Re: Kernel #24 problems - hopefully solved by K4.15.0-29#31
Well, just a few minutes back, kernel K4.15.0-29#31 has arrived here.
Whether it fixes all the reported problems on your system, you will have to find out by accepting and installing the update to K4.15.0-29#31.
Keeping my fingers crossed.

Re: Kernel #24 problems
I had tried apt install xserver-xorg-input-synaptics and it didn't work this time either. In fact the problem seems to occur more frequently now. The xserver-xorg-input-synaptics driver has been replaced by a newer driver called libinput. It performs better than the xorg version. I uninstalled xserver-xorg-input-synaptics before and will do so again because it doesn't help and seems to make the problem worse
I just installed kernel 4.15.0-29 but the problem happened again. I'm sorry if the post is in the wrong place, but it seems quite possible that this is a kernel 4.15.... problem and this thread is about such problems. Edit - I had neglected to reboot after installing 4.15.0-29. The problem hasn't recurred after reboot after several hours of use. I will advise if it happens again. Update - It happened again, but since there is a simple workaround to restart the touchpad without losing work, I regard the problem as just an annoyance that will eventually get fixed as things usually do in LM.

Re: Kernel #24 problems
Hello, drwho.
Maybe the section "Touchpad Drivers" in the Tara release notes holds interesting details about switching the touchpad driver software between "libinput" and "synaptics".
