I just bought a new Thinkpad Yoga 14" Notebook/Convertible without any OS preinstalled (so no windows config magic was possible to i.e. pair the active pen). I installed Ubuntu 14.04.2 on it. I read that most things would work out of the box, like touch, the "active digitizer" (pen) and of course the trackpoint and touchpad. But I have several problems which may(?) be connected:
- Trackpoint middle key does not scroll. It's recognized as "middle mouse key" by the ubuntu mouse test (in system settings). Otherwise the point works fine.
- Touchpad does not have to finger scroll. I think it is not recognizes as a touchpad. I have no idea of how to configure hardware on linux.
- The touchscreen is not working. It just does nothing.
- The same goes for the pen. I read it's a wacom digitizer, but that wasn't official, so I have no idea.
The most important for me is to be able to scroll, so the priority is to get the middle key of the trackpad or two finger scolling working correctly. Everything works fine on Ubuntu 15.04 btw, but I really need Ubuntu 14.04. It's not that I love to be on the LTS, but I need to for a special project.
Here is some information about this computer:
$ xinput
⎡ Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)]
⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)]
⎜ ↳ PS/2 Generic Mouse id=12 [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)]
↳ Video Bus id=8 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Sleep Button id=9 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Integrated Camera id=10 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ AT Translated Set 2 keyboard id=11 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ ThinkPad Extra Buttons id=13 [slave keyboard (3)]
If you need additional information please ask. Except to solutions to my problem, I'd also be interested why things do not work as well for me as for others. Thank you for your help.
Oh and there is indeed an eventually related question here on askubuntu. Although, the touchpad seems to be the only problem here, so I'm not sure. The rest seems to work for him. Touchpad scroll not working in Lenovo Thinkpad Yoga 15
UPDATE
After installing the kernel using sudo apt-get install linux-generic-lts-vivid
, everything works fine except the touchpad. The updated xinput
output is:
