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 pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad id=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 Buttons id=14 [slave keyboard (3)]
Anyway, thanks for your input -
