The https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/967399/+attachment/3914316/+files/elantechfull.patch posted here by Faule Socke is initially the same, but was slightly modified to work out of the box and to use the right xorg configs without further changes. the Bug still exists in actual kernels, but it can completely be solved with the elantechfull.patch -- 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/967399 Title: [11.10] Elantech trackpoint does not work Lenovo Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: In Progress Status in “linux” source package in Precise: Confirmed Bug description: Title: trackpoint does not function Summary: trackpoint does not function Steps: 1. log into desktop 2. use trackpoint and trackpoint buttons Expected results: laptop responds to trackpoint and trackpoint buttons being pressed Actual results: nothing happens Manufacturer: LENOVO WORKAROUND: sudo modprobe proto=exps enables the trackpoint and touchpad, but user will lose multi-touch functionality.
