Jim Hanlon, as per http://download.lenovo.com/express/ddfm.html an update is available for your BIOS (1.42). If you update to this following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BiosUpdate , does it change anything?
If not, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command: sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful. For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette . Thank you for your understanding. ** Tags added: bios-outdated-1.42 needs-upstream-testing regression- release ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Triaged => Incomplete -- 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/994743 Title: After 11.10 > 12.04 upgrade on Thinkpad W520 - mouse input broken Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: After upgrading from 11.10 to 12.04 on a Thinkpad W520 system all mouse/pointer input devices (on this machine that includes the so- called 'TrackPoint pointing stick', a 'TouchPad', and, what I actually use, a generic wireless USB mouse) fail to work properly if the laptop is in it's docking station. The pointer is 'stuck' along the left edge of the screen. The pointer can be moved vertically, but not horizontally. If the laptop is removed from it's docking station then 'mouse' devices appear to function normally. In previous Ubuntu releases, I have not needed to do anything for the docking station to work. FWIW, my normal set up is the laptop in a docking station with two ViewSonic VX2450wm LED monitors in a 'twinview' mode, and a wireless USB keyboard and mouse. The laptop itself has a Nvidia Quadro 1000M graphics device. None of the mouse devices are attached to the docking station.
