I got a new Thinkpad E420s the otherday and have come across a odd problem. This laptop has a touchpad and a trackpoint. Sometimes the trackpoint will be detected and sometimes it will not. Distro: Arch Linux When the trackpoint is detected: *rmmod psmouse results in mouse0 and mouse2 disappearing (ls /dev/input). mouse1 = usb logitech mouse *modprobe psmouse results in mouse0 (the trackpoint) being detected and created right away. However, it takes about 20 seconds for the trackpoint (mouse2) to be created. When the trackpoint is NOT detected I simply have mouse0 (touchpad) and mouse1 (usb logitech mouse) Work / Solution *Reboot into Windows 7. Insure trackpoint works (always does). Reboot into Linux device is detected. In my tests it seems that the device stops getting detected after 6-8 reboots. However, I did also have the problem after resuming from suspend-to-ram. Let me know what information I need to provide and any way that I can help.

It will be recognized as a IBM Trackpoint device. If you enable the touchpad, the trackpoint is setup as a pass-through device and psmouse_probe() fails to get a valid ID from the controller. Digging deeper it seems like the controller is NAKing ID requests. Could this be a firmware/bios issue?

On the other hand, this device isn't detected to be a touchpad, so the evdev Xorg driver is used instead of the synaptics driver. That's why tapping, and every other touchpad-specific feature does not work.

And leads to lost sync at byte 6 / driver resynced messages. If imps protocol is forced, both trackpoint and touchpad work fine, but advanced configuration possibilities are lost. What I've figured out so far is that in the Elantech/synaptics mode the trackpoint sends 6 byte PS/2ish data: 0x30 0x00 0x00 0x06 0xf5 0xfc 0x30 0x00 0x00 0x06 0xfa 0xfd 0x30 0x00 0x00 0x06 0xfb 0xfe 0x30 0x00 0x00 0x06 0xfb 0xfd 0x30 0x00 0x00 0x06 0xfb 0xfe 0x30 0x00 0x00 0x06 0xf5 0xfb 0x30 0x00 0x00 0x06 0xf9 0xfe 0x30 0x00 0x00 0x06 0xf5 0xfb 0x30 0x00 0x00 0x06 0xfa 0xfd 0x30 0x00 0x00 0x06 0xf5 0xfb 0x30 0x00 0x00 0x06 0xfa 0xfd Which should be parsed separately by the Elantech driver or some other driver? Any way the format seems to be something like this 1st byte: [possibly Y overflow?, possibly X overflow?, Y sign, X sign, ??, Middle Btn, Right Btn, Left Btn] 2nd byte: No idea, most of the time either 0x00 or 0x80 3rd byte: No idea, most of the time either 0x00 or 0x80 4th byte: No idea about the 1st half, lower half is 0x6 for trackpoint events 5th byte: Rest of the X movement 6th byte: Rest of the Y movement With this I at least was able to hack the elantech driver so that the trackpoint and touchpad are usable, however the problem (besides the unknown data) is that I have no idea how to detect if the device has a trackpoint, so can't really create a patch that would be suitable for other configurations.
