The latest kernel doesn't seem to have made a difference: [ 53.415] (II) config/udev: Adding input device PS/2 Synaptics TouchPad (/dev/input/event4) [ 53.415] (**) PS/2 Synaptics TouchPad: Applying InputClass "evdev pointer catchall" [ 53.415] (II) Using input driver 'evdev' for 'PS/2 Synaptics TouchPad' [ 53.415] (**) PS/2 Synaptics TouchPad: always reports core events [ 53.415] (**) evdev: PS/2 Synaptics TouchPad: Device: "/dev/input/event4"
Linux localhost 3.17.0-031700rc6-generic #201409211935 SMP Sun Sep 21 23:37:11 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux But I also tested using the Ubuntu 14.10 beta Live USB image and the problem is fixed in the 14.10 beta. I'm not sure how Xorg, udev and the kernel interfact when deciding whether a device is a 'touchpad' or just a 'pointer' but there must've been some change in Xorg or Udev that gets it working in 14.10 beta. ** Attachment added: "Xorg.0.log" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1372520/+attachment/4213523/+files/Xorg.0.log -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1372520 Title: On Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro laptop PS/2 Synaptics TouchPad detected as pointer device by Xorg To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1372520/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
