Public bug reported: I am using a Lenovo Thinkpad T480s with Ubuntu Mate 18.04. On the fresh setup the trackpoint worked flawlessly. After some kernel updates (current one is 4.15.0-44) the trackpoint got "stucked"/"locked" vertically. That means I can only move the pointer up and down and not right and left. Sometimes I can move the pointer to the right but then it jumps around uncontrollably and gets locked at the right end of the desktop.
I tried a lot of different things: Compiled newest libinput, tried hwe- kernel 4.18 and mainline-kernel 4.20. None of these made it work. On random occassions the trackpoint worked fine but got stucked once again in the same session. I think it got stucked when I simultaneously moved the trackpoint and touched the touchpad with my palm. Touchpad is working fine though! $ xinput ⎡ Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)] ⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)] ⎜ ↳ ETPS/2 Elantech Touchpad id=11 [slave pointer (2)] ⎜ ↳ ETPS/2 Elantech TrackPoint id=12 [slave pointer (2)] ⎣ Virtual core keyboard id=3 [master keyboard (2)] ↳ Virtual core XTEST keyboard id=5 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Power Button id=6 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Video Bus id=7 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Sleep Button id=8 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Integrated Camera: Integrated C id=9 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ AT Translated Set 2 keyboard id=10 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ ThinkPad Extra Buttons id=13 [slave keyboard (3)] $ dmesg | grep -i elan [ 2.930410] psmouse serio1: elantech: assuming hardware version 4 (with firmware version 0x7f3001) [ 2.940877] psmouse serio1: elantech: Synaptics capabilities query result 0x90, 0x18, 0x0f.
