[SOLVED] Lenovo X201 TrackPoint

Hi,

Sometimes when I click the "TrackPoint buttons" on my X201, the cursor suddenly jumps to another location on the screen. It doesn't happen if I use the touchpad buttons and it is not consistently happening. I've tried a live usb with ubuntu and didn't experience any problems.
Using the trackpoint without clicking doesn't jump around and it happens both during dragging and normal clicking, but again - not consistently.
It seems to happen most frequently after starting X and the longer I use the computer, the less often it happens.
The arch install is about a week old and everything is up-to-date.

This is my /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-evdev.conf

#
# Catch-all evdev loader for udev-based systems
# We don't simply match on any device since that also adds accelerometers
# and other devices that we don't really want to use. The list below
# matches everything but joysticks.

Section "InputClass"
        Identifier "evdev pointer catchall"
        MatchIsPointer "on"
        MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
        Driver "evdev"
EndSection

Section "InputClass"
        Identifier "evdev keyboard catchall"
        MatchIsKeyboard "on"
        MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
        Driver "evdev"

        Option "XkbLayout" "dk"
EndSection

Section "InputClass"
        Identifier "evdev touchpad catchall"
        MatchIsTouchpad "on"
        MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
        Driver "evdev"
EndSection

Section "InputClass"
        Identifier "evdev tablet catchall"
        MatchIsTablet "on"
        MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
        Driver "evdev"
EndSection

Section "InputClass"
        Identifier "evdev touchscreen catchall"
        MatchIsTouchscreen "on"
        MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
        Driver "evdev"
EndSection

Any ideas to solve this problem?

Re: [SOLVED] Lenovo X201 TrackPoint

Moving the InputClass section that has MatchIsPointer "on" to the end of 10-evdev.conf, seems to have fixed this problem.
