Public bug reported: On my Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon 5th Gen with Swedish keyboard, the trackpoint and touchpad is defunct when running 16.04 LTS and 17.04 "out of the box". You're essentially required to attach an external USB connected mouse to complete (UI based) installation.
Workaround: I can get the trackpoint (red dot) and touchpad to work with IMPS protocol. When loading the `psmouse` Linux kernel module, passing arguments `protocol=imps`, clicks and moving the mouse around works. Using the middle button for scrolling works - both by moving the trackpoint, and by using the touchpad. However, this disables two-finger scrolling using the touchpad. I also own a X1 Carbon 3rd Gen which works just fine. --- ApportVersion: 2.20.4-0ubuntu4 Architecture: amd64 DistUpgraded: Fresh install DistroCodename: zesty DistroRelease: Ubuntu 17.04 DistroVariant: ubuntu InstallationDate: Installed on 2017-04-26 (3 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 17.04 "Zesty Zapus" - Release amd64 (20170412) MachineType: LENOVO 20HRCTO1WW Package: xserver-xorg-input-evdev (not installed) ProcKernelCmdLine: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-4.10.0-20-generic.efi.signed root=UUID=591d9b02-d2fc-4ad4-8a2e-cc41bd853c0a ro i8042.reset i8042.nomux psmouse.proto=imps quiet splash vt.handoff=7 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.10.0-20.22-generic 4.10.8 Tags: zesty ubuntu Uname: Linux 4.10.0-20-generic x86_64 UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) UserGroups: _MarkForUpload: True dmi.bios.date: 03/10/2017 dmi.bios.vendor: LENOVO dmi.bios.version: N1MET31W (1.16 ) dmi.board.asset.tag: Not Available dmi.board.name: 20HRCTO1WW dmi.board.vendor: LENOVO dmi.board.version: SDK0J40697 WIN dmi.chassis.asset.tag: No Asset Information dmi.chassis.type: 10 dmi.chassis.vendor: LENOVO dmi.chassis.version: None dmi.modalias: dmi:bvnLENOVO:bvrN1MET31W(1.16):bd03/10/2017:svnLENOVO:pn20HRCTO1WW:pvrThinkPadX1Carbon5th:rvnLENOVO:rn20HRCTO1WW:rvrSDK0J40697WIN:cvnLENOVO:ct10:cvrNone: dmi.product.name: 20HRCTO1WW dmi.product.version: ThinkPad X1 Carbon 5th dmi.sys.vendor: LENOVO version.compiz: compiz 1:0.9.13.1+17.04.20170109-0ubuntu1 version.ia32-libs: ia32-libs N/A version.libdrm2: libdrm2 2.4.76-1 version.libgl1-mesa-dri: libgl1-mesa-dri 17.0.3-1ubuntu1 version.libgl1-mesa-dri-experimental: libgl1-mesa-dri-experimental N/A version.libgl1-mesa-glx: libgl1-mesa-glx 17.0.3-1ubuntu1 version.xserver-xorg-core: xserver-xorg-core 2:1.19.3-1ubuntu1 version.xserver-xorg-input-evdev: xserver-xorg-input-evdev N/A version.xserver-xorg-video-ati: xserver-xorg-video-ati 1:7.9.0-0ubuntu1 version.xserver-xorg-video-intel: xserver-xorg-video-intel 2:2.99.917+git20170309-0ubuntu1 version.xserver-xorg-video-nouveau: xserver-xorg-video-nouveau 1:1.0.14-0ubuntu1 ** Affects: xserver-xorg-input-evdev (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: apport-collected ubuntu zesty -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-input-evdev in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1687191 Title: psmouse broken for thinkpad touchpad on carbon x1 5th gen To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-evdev/+bug/1687191/+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
