As expected I had a hard time trying to test the latest upstream kernel. Haven't found a way to do it without running into the expected "out-of- tree modules" uninstall, specifically nvidia (with bbswitch).
Having been into this terrain before, I don't think I will proceed to uninstall the nvidia modules given that it might bring me _other_ video- related problems on my work laptop. I guess for now I can live with an external USB mouse. Once I move work into a new box I'll go ahead and re-try the procedure.
