[Bug 1506817] Re: left TPP/2 IBM TrackPoint "sticks on" randomly (X250 15.04)
Hi Pascal, Since it seems to all be working for me, I hesitate to mess with it. I still have two issues, neither of which are too serious (or else maybe I still dont understand them). 1) The touch pad, under synaptic, is supposed to scroll when you touch it with two fingers. With your previous changes, the synaptic driver has been removed, as verified by /var/log/system, (as intended), so the two-finger scroll is not working at all. But the touch pad does respond to the one finger (thumb) touch, and works just like a second mouse input. 2) Every now and then, as I'm typing, my thumb slightly touches the touchpad causing the focus to move to where-ever the mouse pointer is sitting at that moment (i.e., some random position). Once my thumb, or more likely my palm, touches the track pad, anything I'm typiing moves to the pointer (mouse) random location, so my typing focus moves away from where the cursor is. Note I'm distinguishing the typing location (cursor) from the mouse pointer location, as they are distinct pointers. Having the text-cursor (pointer at which your typing) switch to the mouse pointer (pointer that moves with the mouse) location, while your typing, is a very serious problem, as you typing moves to that location. "Bandaid workaround" So my workaround, and it is quite effective is to place two large bandaids on the left and right side of the touchpad, to mask off about 1 inch on each side. Once I did this, the touch pad became useful again. It is simply too large, so large, that I cannot avoid touching it as I type. Note, I'm a full 10 finger typer, not a two finger "pecker." For a small move of the mouse pointer, I can use the trackpad via thumb. For large movements, that's too inefficient, so I use the red eraser-head (track point mouse). The orginal problem was that the mouse would randomly stick on.

[Bug 1506817] Re: left TPP/2 IBM TrackPoint "sticks on" randomly (X250 15.04)
Dear Pascal This is very strange. I'm going now since 12/31/16, and now its 1/3/17, thus somewhere between 3-4 days. I have tested it, and have not seen any problem. You suggest removing the trackpad in the bios. That worked for me in the past (limited success), but with my present BIOS (the latest, I can give you the number if you request), the OS ignores the BIOS setting. Here is the test of that: 1) deselect the trackpad in the bios 2) reboot 3) Before you log in, test if the trackpad is active. I find that it is. 4) login, and with the "system settings/mouse/touchpad" I now see not reference to the touchpad in that screen. Conclusion: After removeing the touchpad via the BIOS, it was still working after a reboot. And, there was no way to turn it on or off from "system settings" Using my Dell latitude, the behaviour is quite different. So the above is restricted to the X250.

Re: [Bug 1506817] Re: left TPP/2 IBM TrackPoint "sticks on" randomly (X250 15.04)
good, I'm glad someone else is seeing this problem. Here is a test I would like you to try: boot up into the BIOS, and turn off only the trackpad. Leave the pointing (red button) on. Then boot up into linux, and BEFORE you login in, see if the trackpad responds to the touch. On my X250, it does, and that is a problem with the BIOS not working properly. I have three thinkpads with a trackpad, and the with the two that work, I can turn off the trackpad, and the trackpad is off before I login in. This may not be the only issue with this bug, but it aggravates it. If the trackpad could be turned off in the BIOS (as it should be) then that would be a work-around. I am able to use the X250 only if I use a USB (external) mouse. The trackpad is too buggy to use.

In comment #34 you state: "This leads one to believe there is a user space component to this that stopped allowing 4.5-rc3+ to work for you." I had not changed anything that would account for this, other than responding to your request for a new kernel. This activity is described in my comment #21: "I was running kernel 4.5-rc3 and everything was great. Then sometime around Feb 3, 2016 (I don't know the exact date), following an standard upgrade from Ubuntu, the old symptoms (left mouse button sticking) returned." Following that date, nothing I tried would make 4.5-rc3 work, including repeating all the steps in reinstalling 4.5-rc3, from scratch. The only possibility that I can think of is that a standard weekly ubuntu update to the kernel (headers, modules, etc?) was the source of the change. I am quite sure that I did not cause this by my tinkering.

[Bug 1506817] Re: left TPP/2 IBM TrackPoint "sticks on" randomly (X250 15.04)
in message #34 you requested that In install 4.6-rc4 In message #36 I discussed 4.6-rc5, which did not resolve the issue. in message #34 based on your request, I installed rc4, which did not resolve the issue. in message #17 I used 4.5-rc3 (NOT 4.6), and it did resolve the issue. in message #21 I state: "I was running kernel 4.5-rc3 and everything was great. Then sometime around Feb 3, 2016 (I don't know the exact date), following an standard upgrade from Ubuntu, the old symptoms (left mouse button sticking) returned." This abrupt change was not due to a kernel change. I was running 4.5-rc3, before and after After Feb 3 the X250 was unuseable no matter what I did. If you read the details, I tried all sorts of things. I even reinstalled the OS from scratch and tried to reinstall 4.5-rc3, from scratch. To no avail. Nothing worked. NOTE: the USB mouse has always been totally functional, and the trackpad and trackpoint work, but the left mouse button sticks on, rendering the computer useable. Eventually I was forced to switched over to my previous computer X220i, which has both a trackpad and trackpoint. This machine works perfectly. The X250 is sitting in the corner, unuseable (unless I downgrade to a USB mouse, which works perfectly on the X250). In my last attempt, today April 30, 2016, I swapped computers with my wife, so I now have her X250. That functions exactly as my X250. This rules out any hardware issues. It is noteable, IMO, that the BIOS in the X220i and the X250 behave very different wrt the synaptics mouse, as documented in message #35. Status today: I'm using the X220i for daily work. The X250 still has the mouse bug. None of the kernel and BIOS changes had any effect at all. The X250 spontaneously stopped working on or about Feb 2, following a standard upgrade (not a kernel change!) Chris, I appreciate your attention to this, but I think we need to get to a new level re this problem. If the community wishes to continue to use X series thinkpads (I'm sure they do), then this problem needs a resolution. What will Lenovo come up with next? Is the beginning of the end of Thinkpads and Linux? I have more than 10 of these X-series laptops lying around my office. I've been using X hardware for many years. I see this as the end of the line, all due to a stupid mouse driver bug. Please correct me if I'm wrong in my summary.

Chris, You asked that I install rc3 or latest, so I installed the latest 4.6-rc5 (not rc3). There are no manual configs, edits, etc. Using rc5, the left mouse click bug is still present. The latest kernel did not fix it. Furthermore, I just swapped my X250 with my wife's X250 (I swapped hard drives). So now I'm using a totally different X250 computer. (same brand, model, version, etc). I did this test after upgrading the BIOS to 1.21 (as I did with the original X250). This verifies that the left-mouse-sticking problem is present on a different X250 running exactly the same software. Thus the problem is not the hardware, the left-mouse-button-sticking issue is in the Thinkpad model X250 + Ubuntu 16.04LTS + X250 BIOS 1.21 Jont Allen ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1506817 Title: left TPP/2 IBM TrackPoint "sticks on" randomly (X250 15.04) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1506817/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1506817] Re: left TPP/2 IBM TrackPoint "sticks on" randomly (X250 15.04)
Status of left mouse bug sticking on X250: I am trying to find a way to put my X250 back in service, to replace the X220i that I fell back to given the serious nature of the LMSB (LMBS = "Left mouse button sticking") 1) By switching to a logitech USB mouse I am able to work on the machine. 2) I turned off the TrackPoint (red eraser head mouse) and the TrackPad in the BIOS. However even with the latest BIOS installed (see posting #26 above). Very important: When the trackpoint and trackpad are turned off in the BIOS, they are not disabled until I login. This is distinct from the behavior of the X220i for which turning off the TrackPad disables it upon reboot (as it should). Conclusion: There is a bug in the BIOS in that the settings for the TrackPad and TrackPoint following a boot, are ignored. 3) No combination of new kernels seems to have any effect on the LMBS bug. It seem likely to me that the issue is in the synaptics driver. This driver works fine on the X220i and the X201 (These are older laptops that I have been using after I retired the X250 from service, due to the LMBS problem made the laptop unuseable). 4) When I use the X250 with the Logitech USB mouse, I am able to work (I dont like taking my hands off the keyboard to reach for the mouse, but the LMBS makes using the TrackPoint unuseable, so it must be turned off) 5) There seems to be a new bug with the latest kernels. The screen randomly flashes for a fraction of a second. This happens about every 20 seconds, on average. Sometimes it happens every 5 seconds. This blink of the backlight is most irrititating. I dont think I can get used to this distraction as the screen is very bright, and the blink is impossible to ignore. This started happening with the newer kernels. I dont know exactly when, maybe somewhere around 4.5. 6) I have upgraded the OS to 16.04LTS. All of the above comments apply to 16.04LTS. 7) For daily use I will still be using X220i but at least I can work on the machine as long as I use the Logitech USB mouse, and can tolerate the blinking. This comment was written using the X250 in this mode. The blinking is giving me a headache! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1506817 Title: left TPP/2 IBM TrackPoint "sticks on" randomly (X250 15.04) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1506817/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 1506817] Re: left TPP/2 IBM TrackPoint "sticks on" randomly (X250 15.04)
Status of X250 bug: In comment #29 above, I mentioend that following the install of the latest kernel the LMBS = "Left mouse button sticking" bug remained. But unfortunately the working kernel then stopped working, leaving me with not recourse but to abandon the machine. The X250 is not usable with this but. As I stated in #29 I switched to an old machine. I have many options, and right now I'm using my old X220i. This has a trackpad, which I can either turn on or off in the BIOS, and when it is on in the BIOS I can turn it on and off from linux. The X220 is working fine, and the X250 now has the LMBS 100% of the time, and for all kernels that I boot. I am happy to continue to pursue this, but have sort of lost hope that this will be fixable, without some major new insight(s). I say this with insight I have obtained by comparing the X220i behaviour with that of the X250. The BIOS interaction is different, leading me to believe that the BIOS has a bug. It is not possible to turn off the TP with the X250 BIOS, as I can do with my older X201i, and the X220i that I'm presently using for daily work. Just to remind you, I upgraded the X250 to Ubuntu 16.04 Beta 2. Now the LTS is out, so I will likely upgrade to that. Right now I'm travelling, so I dont have access to the X250, but when I return home (tomorrow), I will download and boot 4.6-rc4, as you request and post an update. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1506817 Title: left TPP/2 IBM TrackPoint "sticks on" randomly (X250 15.04) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1506817/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 1506817] Re: left TPP/2 IBM TrackPoint "sticks on" randomly (X250 15.04)
Hi Chris, I upgraded my X250 to Ubuntu 16.04 Beta 2, and the mouse sticking bug remains. Here are the steps that I took, for clarity: 1) I cloned my hard drive using a USB appliance and the dd command 2) I then put the cloned hard drive in an older Lenovo X201 ThinkPad The X201 is the system I am now using for day to day work. I have taken the X250 out of service, as it is not usable, due to the left-mouse-button-sticking (LMBS) issue (the topic of hits thread). LMBS = "Left mouse button sticking" 3) I then did an upgrade of the X250 from 15.10 to Ubuntu 16.04-Beta2. 4) I confirmed that the LMBS issue was still present on the X250 (sad but true) 5) I confirmed that the LMBS is NOT present on the X201. Note that the X201 has a TouchPad, and that the X201 BIOS has an option to turn off the TouchPad, just like the X250. In summary: the LMBS is still present on the X250 with 16.04-Beta 2 but is not present on the X201 running 15.10 I have much more information on this now that I have the X201, with its touchpad, with at touchpad BIOS, but I won't post that right now, until you deem it useful. My guess is that the firmware on the synaptics touchpad is buggy.

[Bug 1506817] Re: left TPP/2 IBM TrackPoint "sticks on" randomly (X250 15.04)
A lot has happened since I last checked in. Here is a quick Exec Summary: I was running kernel 4.5-rc3 and everything was great. Then sometime around Feb 3, 2016 (I dont know the exact date), following an standard upgrade from Ubuntu, the old symptoms (left mouse button sticking) returned. While I have some theories about what happened, I'll just stick to the facts (aka, synaptic touch pad (TP) bug). Long story short, I reinstalled 15.10 from scratch on a new hard drive. I went the path of 14.04 -> 15.10, for reasons I wont go into. So I ended up with a brand new install of 15.10. This also, like the system I abandoned, had the synaptic TP bug. Next I installed the latest kernel 4.6 (vmlinuz-4.6.0-040600rc1-generic). This also showed the TP bug. Finally I installed 4.5-rc3 (vmlinuz-4.5.0-040500rc3-generic). Amazing, it worked, and the TP bug was gone! Summary: 4.5rc3 started failing on 15.10 around Feb 3, following an upgrade, but once I installed it on a fresh system, it started to work. More very important additional information: 1) It is now very easy to determine if the system will work (no TP bug) or will not work (TP bug) follwoing the boot, but before login. If the synaptic touchpad responds (the mouse can be moved via the touch pad) BEFORE login, then the TP bug is present. 2) The presents of the TP bug is perfectly correlated with the post-boot /pre-login test (i.e., the presents of the TPad being on, or off.) 3) The X250 BIOS (latest version) has an option to turn off the TPad, and/or the TP mouse. 4) When I turn off the TPad using the BIOS, the non-working kernels ignore this BIOS option. Let me restate that: When I turn off the TPad using the BIOS, every kernel that has the Pad bug, ignores the BIOS option. Kernel 4.5rc3, which does not show the TPad bug, honors the BIOS options. 5) If I turn ON the Tpad with 4.5rc3, the TPad bug is present. Note that this demonstrates that 4.5rc3 listens to the BIOS TP options. Questions to you: 1) What should I do next, given this new information? 2) Has the problem been isolated to the synaptic modules? Is that how the TPad bug returned with the 4.5rc3 kernel? Opinion: It seems not to be the kernel, but something else, as I was booting 4.5-rc3 when it started failing, around Feb 2.

Final report: 1) I have removed my hacks to the mouse config setup and rebooted several kernels. The kernel used by 15.04 is buggy and does not properly support MatchProduct "PS/2 Synaptics TouchPad" and Option "Emulate3Buttons" "0" The buttons work properly with earlier kernels 3.19.0-42-generic and later kernels 4.5.0-040500rc3-generic but not with 4.2.0-30-generic To fully work, it was necessary to upgrade the BIOS (described earlier in this bug report) and then turn off the synaptics TouchPad in the bios setup. If the touchpad is left on (in the BIOS), then the mouse jumps around every now and then, when the palm of my right hand touched the touchpad. The software suppression of the touch-pad was not sufficient to keep the mouse from randoming leaving focus of the window I was typing in. For example, I would be responding to an email and the focus would be lost at random times, because my palm would touch the synaptics touch-pad. This rendered the touchpad unuseable. Hence I found it necessary to turn it off, in the BIOS Summary: With the early 3.19 and later 4.5 kernels, the mouse button sticking problem is resolved, but with the 4.2 kernel, it is sticking on, when pressed, at random times. This renders the computer unuseable for daily work. Thus the problem seems to be solved with the 4.5 kernels (and with the older kernel, with the further requirement I turn off the touchpad in the BIOS. ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1506817 Title: left TPP/2 IBM TrackPoint "sticks on" randomly (X250 15.04) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1506817/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Update: As requested in comment # 11, I have downloaded the latest kernel and installed it on my X250. The version I have installed is uname -a Linux near 4.5.0-040500rc3-generic #201602071930 SMP Mon Feb 8 00:34:43 UTC 2016 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux There was no issue downloading this kernel and the headers. I then rebooted and via grub, was able to boot the kernel. There were no issues. I have been using the kernel for 5 or 6 hours, and have not seen any mouse click issues. It seems to have solved the problem. With the previous kernel vmlinuz-4.2.0-27-generic.efi.signed I was seeing mouse click errors at least once per min, and frequently much more (up to 50% of the mouse clicks) So I feel it is save to say that the new kernel has solved the problem. Whats next? So the next think I will try is to book the 4.2.027 kernal and see the problem return. Then I will remove my "hacks" to the setup, I will also turn back on the touch-pad in the bios (right now its turned off). Thus I will return the machine to its normal state and verify that the new kernel is still working (no mouse click errors). This will take me a day to two. Then I will deliver a final report. So awaiting that final report, it seems the problem is solved (tentatively pending further notice).

Re: [Bug 1506817] Re: left TPP/2 IBM TrackPoint "sticks on" randomly (X250 15.04)
Christopher, Here is an important update: When you sent this email on Jan 21, my X250 was back in Memphis being repaired (A problem with the screen blanking off, randomly). Thus I couldn't test anything at that time. I now have the X250 back in my hands and the screen problems is fixed. However, today (Feb 4, 2016) the mouse sticking problem has returned!!! This occured immedideatly following a system update, which required a reboot. Following the reboot, the mouse sticking problem returned. I'm not sure how to evaluate the situation given the random return of the problem. I verified that the two modifications were in place 1) /etc/modprobe.d/psmouse.conf options psmouse proto=imps 2) /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/90-evdev.conf Section "InputClass" Identifier "Touchpad/TrackPoint" MatchProduct "PS/2 Synaptics TouchPad" MatchDriver "evdev" Option "EmulateWheel" "1" Option "EmulateWheelButton" "2" Option "Emulate3Buttons" "0" Option "XAxisMapping" "6 7" Option "YAxisMapping" "4 5" EndSection 3) Reboot but with these modifications, the left mouse button now sticks on about once every 20 clicks (a rough estimate), rendering the computer virtually useless for everyday use. This problem was resolved since my first posting, but has now creeped back to haunt me. Any advice you can give me would be appreciated. My previous conclusion was that the synaptics driver is the source of this problem. There is evidence that it is now present, but I'm not in a position to spend a day debugging this right now. When I boot the computer, before I login, the synaptics pad is live. I have turned it off in the BIOS, yet it lives following a boot. Once I have logged in, it is turned off. I suspect this is a clue, but I dont know how to read it. The situation is bad enough that I may need to switch back to my previous X220i computer, which is an equally bad alternative. The X220i runs 14.04 LS, and does not have the mouse-sticking problem, as it does not have the synaptics driver (as best I know). The X250 is using Ubuntu 15.04 Linux near 4.2.0-27-generic #32-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jan 22 04:49:08 UTC 2016 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux I figured out how to boot the X250 from the X220i hard drive using a USB adapter, which seems a useful debugging technique. I hope my summary above is both correct and adequate. On 01/21/2016 06:41 PM, Christopher M.

[Bug 1506817] Re: left TPP/2 IBM TrackPoint "sticks on" randomly (X250 15.04)
Hi, I now have a "fix." Summary: The synaptics drive (provided by 15.04 kernel) seems to be broken. I have replaced it with the stock driver, and now the problems is gone. While this may not be a fix for everyone, but its a great fix for me. I'm now able to use the x250, and the mouse is rock-solid working, after 24 hours of testing. The one major issue with this fix is that the touch pad is disabled. But I cant use the touchpad anyway, so this fits my needs perfectly. Why cant I use the touchpad? When I type, the left pad of my right hand, between the thumb and the wrist, touches the touchpad, causing the mouse to go crazy. This is because I touch type, vs peck with raised hands. Therefore the touch pad is dysfunctional, and I must turn it off. What is the fix for the mouse button "sticking"? I followed up on the lead provided at: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Lenovo_ThinkPad_X250#Mouse which also references the much older: http://vimtips.org/2015/02/20/ubuntu-1410-and-lenovo-thinkpad-x250/ which solved the mouse-sicking problem, at the price of loosing the touchpad function (which I didnt want anyway). Here is the procedure , step by step: 1) /etc/modprobe.d/psmouse.conf Add to this file options psmouse proto=imps 2)create a file /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/90-evdev.conf containing: Section "InputClass" Identifier "Touchpad/TrackPoint" MatchProduct "PS/2 Synaptics TouchPad" MatchDriver "evdev" Option "EmulateWheel" "1" Option "EmulateWheelButton" "2" Option "Emulate3Buttons" "0" Option "XAxisMapping" "6 7" Option "YAxisMapping" "4 5" EndSection 3) Reboot Problem solved. ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1506817 Title: left TPP/2 IBM TrackPoint "sticks on" randomly (X250 15.04) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1506817/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1506817] Re: left TPP/2 IBM TrackPoint "sticks on" randomly (X250 15.04)
Is this piece of information relevent to my problem? https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Lenovo_ThinkPad_X250#Mouse Mouse The touchpad and TrackPoint work out of the box, but the physical buttons for the trackpoint do not. You will need to install xf86-input-synaptics. Note: The most recent Linux kernels (at least 4.0.5) support TrackPoint buttons out of the box. The following information pertains only to older versions of the kernel. If you would rather not install a recent kernel, there is a work around for Linux 3.19.2-ARCH. If you add options psmouse proto=imps to /etc/modprobe.d/x250.conf, you can force the mouse module to use a more basic protocol than the built in one for the TrackPoint, which needs a patch. The effect is that the touchpad and mouse are treated as one device, but synaptics is not supported. If you want two finger scrolling, for example, you will need to either deal with the broken TrackPoint buttons are install the new module.

[Bug 1506817] Re: left TPP/2 IBM TrackPoint "sticks on" randomly (X250 15.04)
Dear Christopher, I have now upgraded my X250 bios to version 1.17. I downloaded the bios from Lenovo NIOET38W (1.17) and installed it on my X250. I then verified the the old bios (1.15) had been upgraded to 1.17. I did this by booting into the bios, and checking the version number. I then again verified the installed bios version and release data: sudo dmidecode -s bios-version N10ET38W (1.17) sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date 08/20/2015 I then rebooted my X250, and verified that the bug of the mouse-button click (bug 1506817) is not fixed by updating the BIOS. So the problem remains active.

[Bug 1506817] [NEW] left TPP/2 IBM TrackPoint "sticks on" randomly (X250 15.04)
Public bug reported: I have reported the details of this problem at https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu-certification/+question/272142 As summarized on that question: X250 analysis: I used the command on the X250 evtest /dev/input/event15 | grep EV_KEY I can see the bug, as follows: I click on button 1 (left) over and over. When I push the button down, I see it register as 1, and when I let go of the key, it registers as a 0. The bug is that every now and then (once every 20 clicks), when I let go of the left mouse button (BIN_LEFT), it does not return to state 0 (it stays in state 1). This is highly random, but cant be triggered more often, by dragging a window, which I do with BIN_LEFT. I am using a brand new X250, purchased in late July 2015. The system was returned 3 times to IBM repair as I assumed this was a hardware error. Now with the above, it seems clear that this is a software issue.
