[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1731163] Re: Trackpoint device not working by default on Thinkpad L570

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1731163] Re: Trackpoint device not working by default on Thinkpad L570
No, multi touch does not work any more with this parameter. Touch pad and track point are reduced to the functions of a standard mouse, I beliebe, which can also be seen in the corresponding settings dialog. Scrolling with the help of the middle track point button works though, as it is customary on ThinkPad models. ** Attachment added: "Settings dialog - limited to standard mouse settings" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1731163/+attachment/5008812/+files/settings-touch-devices.png -- 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/1731163 Title: Trackpoint device not working by default on Thinkpad L570 Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Installing Ubuntu 17.10 on a ThinkPad L570 (L470 should be the same in this regard) leaves the trackpoint as well as the trackpoint buttons in a non-working state.
