Posting because Lenovo doesn't make it easy to find older versions of BIOS.
I believe this is the link for the bios version 1.53 http://download.lenovo.com/ibmdl/pub/pc/pccbbs/mobiles/gduj07us.iso According to this: http://download.lenovo.com/ibmdl/pub/pc/pccbbs/mobiles/gduj18uc.txt -- 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/1210748 Title: On Lenovo Thinkpad Twist internal mouse does not work after turning on machine, only works after reboot Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: I have a Lenovo ThinkPad Twist (convertible ultrabook with Core i7 processor) with touch screen, touch pad, rubber nipple mouse, and external Bluetooth mouse. From these 4 mice 2 always work, the touch screen and the external Bluetooth mouse. The touchpad and the nipple do not work right after turning on the machine, only when I reboot the machine they work after rebooting. I have observed the problem only recently, so it is perhaps triggered by the BIOS upgrade to version 1.57. The problem is independent of the Ubuntu version. I did not only observe it on the installed Raring and Saucy systems but also with several live CDs of older Ubuntu versions (Quantal, Precise). There is also another user with the same problem. See http://www.iasptk.com/ubuntuwp/tag/13-10/ and search for "twist". Unfortunately, the question got removed from Ask Ubuntu, but one can still access the dmesg output from this user on http://paste.ubuntu.com/5889489/ --- ApportVersion: 2.12-0ubuntu3 Architecture: amd64 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 13.10 InstallationDate: Installed on 2013-06-05 (65 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 13.10 "Saucy Salamander" - Alpha amd64 (20130605) MarkForUpload: True Package: linux (not installed) Tags: saucy Uname: Linux 3.11.0-031100rc3-generic x86_64 UnreportableReason: The running kernel is not an Ubuntu kernel UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) UserGroups: adm cdrom dip lpadmin plugdev sambashare sudo --- ApportVersion: 2.12-0ubuntu3 Architecture: amd64 AudioDevicesInUse: USER PID ACCESS COMMAND /dev/snd/controlC0: till 2756 F.... pulseaudio DistroRelease: Ubuntu 13.10 HibernationDevice: RESUME=UUID=e0af6e5c-3cf3-47e2-8603-6a9ffb019484 InstallationDate: Installed on 2013-06-05 (65 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 13.10 "Saucy Salamander" - Alpha amd64 (20130605) MachineType: LENOVO 334729G MarkForUpload: True Package: linux (not installed) ProcFB: 0 inteldrmfb ProcKernelCmdLine: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-3.10.0-6-generic root=UUID=71da60b2-cc11-47bf-9120-bfad5b1c7eaa ro quiet splash vt.handoff=7 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.10.0-6.17-generic 3.10.3 RelatedPackageVersions: linux-restricted-modules-3.10.0-6-generic N/A linux-backports-modules-3.10.0-6-generic N/A linux-firmware 1.113 Tags: saucy Uname: Linux 3.10.0-6-generic x86_64 UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) UserGroups: adm cdrom dip lpadmin plugdev sambashare sudo dmi.bios.date: 07/01/2013 dmi.bios.vendor: LENOVO dmi.bios.version: GDET97WW (1.57 ) dmi.board.asset.tag: Not Available dmi.board.name: 334729G dmi.board.vendor: LENOVO dmi.board.version: Win8 Pro DPK TPG dmi.chassis.asset.tag: No Asset Information dmi.chassis.type: 10 dmi.chassis.vendor: LENOVO dmi.chassis.version: Not Available dmi.modalias: dmi:bvnLENOVO:bvrGDET97WW(1.57):bd07/01/2013:svnLENOVO:pn334729G:pvrThinkPadTwist:rvnLENOVO:rn334729G:rvrWin8ProDPKTPG:cvnLENOVO:ct10:cvrNotAvailable: dmi.product.name: 334729G dmi.product.version: ThinkPad Twist dmi.sys.vendor: LENOVO To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1210748/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages Post to : kernel-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kernel-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
