Meh, I've had weird things blamed on the *-microcode packages before, but THAT is a new one :-) The USB keyboard and encrypted root password prompt issues in jessie are almost always caused by: missing modules or missing USB firmware in the initramfs; a required module not being autoloaded for some reason (list it in /etc/modules to fix -- and rebuild the initramfs, of course); and several issues in the cryptsetup support for encrypted root in the initramfs in systemd mode, which I *thought* were already fixed. Reading through the initramfs-tools and cryptsetup bug tracker pages might help. http://bugs.debian.org/initramfs-tools http://bugs.debian.org/cryptsetup The Synaptics touchpad in the Thinkpad X250 is new hardware, and it is not fully supported even by kernel 4.1, as there is still a rather nasty issue in the way the current driver operates related to either multitouch or gesture support, I think. It is being addressed upstream, search the LKML archives of the last month for threads with 'synaptics' in the name. This page has good details on Debian support for the X250: http://www.corsac.net/X250/ > You could also make sure that you're running the latest version of the BIOS, That's pretty much a non-optional rule for thinkpads, *especially* recently lauched ones.
