Description kevin 2017-09-24 18:28:42 UTC
User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Fedora; Linux x86_64; rv:55.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/55.0
Build Identifier: 

My Lenovo Thinkpad X250 Trackpoint & Trackpad stopped working. I'm on Fedora 26, kernel 4.12.13. I don't know when this started happening because I usually run docked, but some time in the last month or two, and seemingly after I upgraded from F25 to F26. The issue happens 95% of the time, although sometimes I reboot and everything works. I'm not sure what diagnostics to provide, but I'm a comfortable C developer and I've compiled kernels in the past, so I'm glad to gather any diagnostics. My workaround is to use a dock or USB mouse.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Ensure TrackPoint and TrackPad are enabled in BIOS
2. Start computer
Actual Results:  
Trackpoint and Trackpad don't work most of the time

Expected Results:  
Trackpoint and Trackpad function

Based on similar bug reports, I'll attach the following output files:

# libinput list-devices > libinput-list-devices.txt
# dmesg > trackpoint_problem_dmesg.txt
# lsmod > lsmod.txt

Of note, the following are the error messages during boot:

# journalctl -p err -b

Changing this to a potentially better component.

One of the few times that it worked just happened and I see all the same `-p err` messages in journalctl, _except_ I don't see this line from the original report:

Sep 24 03:21:52 x250 kernel: usbhid 2-2.3:1.1: couldn't find an input interrupt endpoint

Maybe this usbhid error is somehow causing the Trackpoint/Trackpad to have issues?

Comment 5 Benjamin Tissoires 2017-09-28 13:06:40 UTC
The weird part is that I do not see *at all* the touchpad in the dmesg. On this laptop, I would have expected the touchpad to at least appear as a PS/2 device.

Can you provide a v4.11 kernel dmesg and report if it was working there?

To be honest in the current state I suspect a hardware issue...

Comment 6 kevin 2017-09-28 22:01:54 UTC
Thanks for taking a look. I installed kernel 4.11, rebooted, and the issue still occurs (Trackpoint/Trackpad don't work). dmesg will be attached. Here's what I did:

$ koji list-tag-history --package=kernel | grep "4\.11.* tagged.*f25" | tail -1
$ koji download-build -a x86_64 kernel-4.11.12-200.fc25
$ dnf install kernel-4.11.12-200.fc25.x86_64.rpm kernel-core-4.11.12-200.fc25.x86_64.rpm kernel-modules-4.11.12-200.fc25.x86_64.rpm kernel-modules-extra-4.11.12-200.fc25.x86_64.rpmLas
$ grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg
$ reboot
[...]
$ uname -a
Linux x250 4.11.12-200.fc25.x86_64 #1 SMP Fri Jul 21 16:41:43 UTC 2017 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Is there anything else I can do or is it now confirmed there's a hardware issue?

dmesg with kernel 4.11

Comment 8 kevin 2017-10-03 20:34:42 UTC
It worked (once out of every ~10 reboots) so I'm attaching the dmesg log for a successful case. I see the PS/2 lines this time that you were looking for before:

[    2.675087] input: TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint as /devices/platform/i8042/serio1/serio2/input/input6
[   20.714282] input: TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint as /devices/rmi4-00/rmi4-00.fn03/serio3/input/input22
