I just looked at that file: /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/90-evdev.conf and it turns out, I comment out every line. I was wondering the same thing you are.
So step 2 is NOT necessary. While the file exists, it contains comment lines only, so (I suspect) it could be deleted with no impact. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1506817 Title: left TPP/2 IBM TrackPoint "sticks on" randomly (X250 15.04) Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: I have reported the details of this problem at https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu-certification/+question/272142 As summarized on that question: X250 analysis: I used the command on the X250 evtest /dev/input/event15 | grep EV_KEY I can see the bug, as follows: I click on button 1 (left) over and over. When I push the button down, I see it register as 1, and when I let go of the key, it registers as a 0. The bug is that every now and then (once every 20 clicks), when I let go of the left mouse button (BIN_LEFT), it does not return to state 0 (it stays in state 1). This is highly random, but cant be triggered more often, by dragging a window, which I do with BIN_LEFT. I am using a brand new X250, purchased in late July 2015. The system was returned 3 times to IBM repair as I assumed this was a hardware error. Now with the above, it seems clear that this is a software issue.
