Hi Khadijah Mitchell,
Why did you close the issue for Precise? From what I read in this thread, the Ubuntu kernel devs are not willing to integrate the patch and wait for upstream - while there is nobody actually pushing the patch upstream. As I currently see it, there is actually only a slim chance of having this problem fix by default in the close future. Maybe somebody could create a dkms module identical to this Arch Linux patch: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/elantech-tp-dkms/ -- 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/967399 Title: [11.10] Elantech trackpoint does not work Lenovo Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: In Progress Status in “linux” source package in Precise: Fix Released Bug description: Title: trackpoint does not function Summary: trackpoint does not function Steps: 1. log into desktop 2. use trackpoint and trackpoint buttons Expected results: laptop responds to trackpoint and trackpoint buttons being pressed Actual results: nothing happens Manufacturer: LENOVO WORKAROUND: sudo modprobe proto=exps enables the trackpoint and touchpad, but user will lose multi-touch functionality.
