A workaround for the bug is to load the psmouse kernel module with option proto=bare, but unfortunately, this causes the touchpad to lose multi-touch functionality.
Check out the "tp-trackpoint-elantech" package at the "thinkpad-extras" PPA, which implements this workaround, along with a bit of X configuration that enables scrolling with the middle button. https://launchpad.net/~linrunner/+archive/thinkpad-extras -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-input-synaptics in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1070207 Title: Trackpoint doesn't work on Thinkpad L530 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-synaptics/+bug/1070207/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
