Re: Thinkpad E320 trackpoint doesn't work every time
Andreas Rönnquist, 21.10.2013: I have recently got my hands on a Lenovo Thinkpad Edge E320 - and it works very nicely - with one small exception: I have got the habit to use the touchpad but not the mousebuttons underneath the lower part of the touchpad, but instead I use the extra buttons just above the touchpad that are intended for usage with the trackpoint. - (I have a bit of a hard time pressing the buttons underneath the touchpad without moving the mouse by mistake). However, every now and then the trackpoint and its buttons are not active after a boot - the touchpad still works, and the buttons underneath the touchpad, but not the trackpoint and its buttons. Does anybody know a way to reactivate them without having to reboot, or to make them work every time, or know what is causing my problem? Have you tried running xinput when they are not active? You would at least see if they are listed. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

You would at least see if they are listed. Thanks for the tip! However - for some reason I have not run into the problem for some time now... I guess its the typical scenario - report a problem, and then after that you don't run into it when you have debugging possibilities Anyway, thank you for the hint - I will try it the next time I have problems with it. - Just for completion, xinput reports the following output now, when the mousebuttons and everything else work just fine: ⎡ Virtual core pointer id=2[master pointer (3)] ⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointerid=4[slave pointer (2)] ⎜ ↳ SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPadid=12 [slave pointer (2)] ⎜ ↳ TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint id=13 [slave pointer (2)] ⎣ Virtual core keyboard id=3[master keyboard (2)] ↳ Virtual core XTEST keyboard id=5[slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Power Button id=6[slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Video Bus id=7[slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Power Button id=8[slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Integrated Camera id=10 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ AT Translated Set 2 keyboard id=11 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ ThinkPad Extra Buttonsid=14 [slave keyboard (3)] Anyway, thanks for your input - -- Andreas Rönnquist mailingli...@gusnan.se gus...@gusnan.se -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
