Thinkpad E520 Touchpad and Clickpad not detected

Hi guys,

I got a Thinkpad E520 a few days ago and I've been trying unsuccessfully to get them to work. They won't even appear to be detected by the kernel.

I've tried xinput list, which shows nothing except the real mouse I have plugged in.

[nathan@nathan-laptop ~]$ xinput list
⎡ Virtual core pointer                    	id=2	[master pointer  (3)]
⎜   ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer              	id=4	[slave  pointer  (2)]
⎜   ↳ Logitech USB-PS/2 Optical Mouse         	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)]
    ↳ Integrated Camera                       	id=8	[slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ AT Translated Set 2 keyboard            	id=9	[slave  keyboard (3)]
    ↳ ThinkPad Extra Buttons                  	id=10	[slave  keyboard (3)]

If anyone could give me some idea what I can do, that would be great. I've looked at similar guides for models like the E420, and every one has had theirs working out of the box.

I had the same problem. I used the psmouse-elantech AUR package to fix it. https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php? … 3&detail=0

Re: Thinkpad E520 Touchpad and Clickpad not detected

Hi BHoward, I've tried that package and it doesn't work. It appears that your package is targeting Alps touchpads that are detected as PS/2 generic mice. Mine is not detected at all:

Also, I've noticed this output in dmesg which seems indicative of something going on:

Not sure how to read it though, or what I can do with that info.

Re: Thinkpad E520 Touchpad and Clickpad not detected

Did you install tp_smapi or the TLS package? I don't know it will help or not, but it provide extra modules
for thinkpad laptops.

and can you list the xorg and xf86 package that you install by;

pacman -Q | grep xorg
pacman -Q | grep xf86

Re: Thinkpad E520 Touchpad and Clickpad not detected

Just to verify that anything can see the devices, you might try installing the "dmidecode" package in extra. It does some really deep diving to display your hardware configuration.

For instance, on my ancient Thinkpad T43, these show up:

<snip>

Handle 0x0033, DMI type 21, 7 bytes
Built-in Pointing Device
        Type: Track Point
        Interface: PS/2
        Buttons: 3

Handle 0x0034, DMI type 21, 7 bytes
Built-in Pointing Device
        Type: Touch Pad
        Interface: PS/2
        Buttons: 0

<snip>

even though I have the Touchpad turned off in BIOS (because I only use the Trackpoint).

The closest thing I can see is Handle 0x0032, which has detected a 2 button Pointing Device. But could that be my mouse? I'm unsure. The BIOS on this laptop is horrendous, it doesn't even have options to turn the Touchpad (or the trackpoint) on or off. In fact, the BIOS doesn't have the ability to turn most things off that you'd expect, like wireless or bluetooth.

My touchpad is not showing up on dmidecode and it's working could you show
your /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-synaptics.conf? It should somehow look similar to this.

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

        Option "TapButton3" "2"
	Option "CircullarScrolling" "on"

Sure, here it is.

Re: Thinkpad E520 Touchpad and Clickpad not detected

Sorry it's not TLS but TLP, but it's only a powersaving script, so I don't think it will affect the touchpad.

Maybe you can try to install libsynaptics and try to detect your touchpad with gpointing-device-settings.

What WM or DE are you using?

Re: Thinkpad E520 Touchpad and Clickpad not detected

I've installed TLP, and still no progress sadly. I'm using Openbox.

I've done a live boot of the latest Ubuntu and the touchpad/trackpoint didn't work there either.

Re: Thinkpad E520 Touchpad and Clickpad not detected

It is possible that it is a hardware problem if you have tried so many options, but don't jump to conclusions yet.

If it doesn't work on windows then it is a hardware problem.

I don't know it will help but these pages may give some information

Re: Thinkpad E520 Touchpad and Clickpad not detected

Hmm it's times like these I really wish that Windows had readily available live CDs.

I have a Windows XP installation CD, I'll give that a go sometime this week and see how it turns out. I'll post back here once I've tried it.

Re: Thinkpad E520 Touchpad and Clickpad not detected

I checked with a Windows 7 installation CD, and I couldn't navigate the installation, due to not having a way to click buttons easily. So yes, it definitely is a hardware problem. Dammit.
