I have a Lenovo ThinkPad T14 gen1 for more than a year now and I run it with Ubuntu 24.04 LTS. Since that I have the problem with the trackpoint, that during usage it stops working randomly. I still can use the touchpad. The only solution is: reboot, standby or run sudo modprobe -r psmouse && sudo modprobe psmouse When the trackpoint stopped working and I run sudo evtest /dev/input/event13 I also see that it has no action anymore. Besides I run sudo dmesg | grep -i -e psmouse -e trackpoint -e serio but I did it after the modprobe, because the trackpoint stopped working while I was clicking something and the click hang as well. The output is: [ 0.881089] serio: i8042 KBD port at 0x60,0x64 irq 1 [ 0.881107] serio: i8042 AUX port at 0x60,0x64 irq 12 [ 0.883951] input: AT Translated Set 2 keyboard as /devices/platform/i8042/serio0/input/input3 [ 2.047781] psmouse serio1: synaptics: queried max coordinates: x [..5678], y [..4694] [ 2.084079] psmouse serio1: synaptics: queried min coordinates: x [1266..], y [1162..] [ 2.084086] psmouse serio1: synaptics: Trying to set up SMBus access [ 2.087100] psmouse serio1: synaptics: SMbus companion is not ready yet [ 2.155641] psmouse serio1: synaptics: Touchpad model: 1, fw: 10.32, id: 0x1e2a1, caps: 0xf014a3/0x940300/0x12e800/0x500000, board id: 3471, fw id: 2909640 [ 2.155652] psmouse serio1: synaptics: serio: Synaptics pass-through port at isa0060/serio1/input0 [ 2.196323] input: SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad as /devices/platform/i8042/serio1/input/input5 [ 2.673734] psmouse serio2: trackpoint: Elan TrackPoint firmware: 0x11, buttons: 3/3 [ 2.880435] input: TPPS/2 Elan TrackPoint as /devices/platform/i8042/serio1/serio2/input/input6 [ 5.177567] psmouse serio1: synaptics: queried max coordinates: x [..5678], y [..4694] [ 5.207013] psmouse serio1: synaptics: queried min coordinates: x [1266..], y [1162..] [ 5.207025] psmouse serio1: synaptics: Trying to set up SMBus access [ 5.587289] serio: RMI4 PS/2 pass-through port at rmi4-00.fn03 [ 5.706040] psmouse serio3: trackpoint: Elan TrackPoint firmware: 0x11, buttons: 3/3 [ 5.744593] input: TPPS/2 Elan TrackPoint as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1f.4/i2c-0/0-002c/rmi4-00/rmi4-00.fn03/serio3/input/input18 [17021.800494] psmouse serio1: synaptics: queried max coordinates: x [..5678], y [..4694] [17021.833970] psmouse serio1: synaptics: queried min coordinates: x [1266..], y [1162..] [17021.833996] psmouse serio1: synaptics: Trying to set up SMBus access [17022.136075] serio: RMI4 PS/2 pass-through port at rmi4-01.fn03 [17022.249496] psmouse serio4: trackpoint: Elan TrackPoint firmware: 0x11, buttons: 3/3 [17022.296166] input: TPPS/2 Elan TrackPoint as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1f.4/i2c-0/0-002c/rmi4-01/rmi4-01.fn03/serio4/input/input22 I mean, I have a workaround, but it is still annoying. Any idea what else I can try? some other log to check? I also read about switching to PS/2 but this will disable the scrolling functionality.

Hello linux fellas. I'm currently using Fedora 40 with SwayFX as a compositor, swayidle as an idle manager and gtklock as a screen locker, on my Lenovo ThinkPad T460. I also use TLP. This issue happens randomly, it goes as follows: - The laptop wakes up from suspend. - Trackpoint and Thinkpad's touchpad buttons don't work. - After some short while (from 10 seconds to about a minute) the laptop just freezes, keyboard, touchpad, nothing responds. The only way to get out of it is to force shutdown the laptop. As I said the issue happens randomly, so sometimes it wakes up just fine, sometimes this happens. Here are my Laptop specs of someone needs it: CPU: Intel Core I5 6300U GPU: Intel HG Graphics 520 RAM: 8GB Storage: 256GB SSD Any help appreciated. EDIT: I have this after entering sudo dmesg -w | grep psmouse

hope this helps.

Using KDE, how do I increase the sensitivity of my trackpoint? There is no trackpoint section in Systemsettings. The "Pointer speed" sliders in the Mouse and Touchpad sections don't affect it either. xinput set-prop 'TPPS/2 Elan TrackPoint' 'libinput Accel Speed' 1 works temporarily, but the setting is reset after every hibernate/resume cycle (and possibly on other occasions).

I recently got a Thinkpad T460 and am running Ubuntu 20.04 on it. I don't use a DE, just plain old i3. I'm like to keep my hands on the keyboard. That's why I like the trackpoint. However, I keep accidentally touching the touchpad, resulting in unwanted mouse movements and even clicks (even though I barely touch it!) I'm exploring multiple options to improve the situation. This question is about disabling the touchpad completely. According to xinput list, there is only one device (see below):

$ xinput list
⎡ Virtual core pointer                          id=2    [master pointer  (3)]
⎜   ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer                id=4    [slave  pointer  (2)]
⎜   ↳ PS/2 Synaptics TouchPad                   id=11   [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)]
    ↳ Sleep Button                              id=8    [slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ Integrated Camera: Integrated C           id=9    [slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ AT Translated Set 2 keyboard              id=10   [slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ ThinkPad Extra Buttons                    id=12   [slave  keyboard (3)]

And if I run xinput disable 11, both trackpoint and touchpad are disabled. How can I disable ONLY the touchpad?

I am using a Thinkpad L13 Yoga and had the problem that the trackpoint stopped working after wakeup. So I followed the following hint (which basically reloads the psmouse module at wakeup): https://askubuntu.com/a/1159960/270792 After putting the file in place the trackpoint stopped failing at wakeup, however, the touchpad now was activated. I would like, however, to keep the touchpad deactivated since I sometimes touch it with my palms unintentionally. So i tried to disable the touchpad at wakeup. Here is how my /lib/systemd/system-sleep/trackpoint-fix script currently looks like:

#!/bin/bash

case $1/$2 in
  pre/*)
    echo "Going to $2..."
    # Place your pre suspend commands here, or exit 0 if no pre suspend action required
    modprobe -r psmouse
    ;;
  post/*)
    echo "Waking up from $2..."
    # Place your post suspend (resume) commands here, or exit 0 if no post suspend action required
    sleep 2
    echo "Will now modprobe psmouse..."
    modprobe psmouse
    sleep 2
    echo "Will now disable the touchpad..."
    DISPLAY=:0 xinput disable 'Elan Touchpad'
    sleep 2
    echo "Will now show touchpad state..."
    DISPLAY=:0 xinput list-props 'Elan Touchpad' | grep 'Device Enabled'
    ;;
esac

This is what I find in my logs:

Mai 24 15:13:42 ThinkpadL13Yoga systemd-sleep: Going to suspend...
Mai 24 15:13:42 ThinkpadL13Yoga systemd-sleep: Suspending system...
Mai 24 15:13:50 ThinkpadL13Yoga systemd-sleep: System resumed.
Mai 24 15:13:50 ThinkpadL13Yoga systemd-sleep: Waking up from suspend...
Mai 24 15:13:52 ThinkpadL13Yoga systemd-sleep: Will now modprobe psmouse...
Mai 24 15:13:54 ThinkpadL13Yoga systemd-sleep: Will now disable the touchpad...
Mai 24 15:13:56 ThinkpadL13Yoga systemd-sleep: Will now show touchpad state...
Mai 24 15:13:56 ThinkpadL13Yoga systemd-sleep:         Device Enabled (184):        0

So, looking at the last line, it seems like the touchpad device has been disabled successfully. However, the touchpad is still active. If I check the state of the touchpad inside the X session after wakeup, it tells me that the device is indeed enabled:

$ DISPLAY=:0 xinput list-props 'Elan Touchpad' | grep 'Device Enabled'
	Device Enabled (184):	1

I absolutely don't understand how the touchpad gets enabled again and would like to keep it disabled. Possibly, reloading psmouse isn't a suiting solution and there is a better approach to keep the trackpoint enabled after wakeup.
