[SOLVED] Arch linux on T450s keypress problems.

Today i noticed in pycharm when typing mouse jumps all over the places. I did not change single config. My arch installation is almost 4 years old and it's been months since i last touched configuration files. I did not update anything yesterday, i updated only one package today python-setuptools.

xev detects this events EVERY 10 seconds. Exactly every 10 seconds.

ButtonPress event, serial 130, synthetic NO, window 0x2e00001,
    root 0x17e, subw 0x0, time 1536304, (398,529), root:(398,550),
    state 0x0, button 1, same_screen YES

ButtonRelease event, serial 130, synthetic NO, window 0x2e00001,
    root 0x17e, subw 0x0, time 1536484, (398,529), root:(398,550),
    state 0x100, button 1, same_screen YES

BTW i thought touchpad was damaged and disabled trackpad and trackpoint in the bios. I did not find touchpad in bios there is no such option. After disabling those two settings touchpad still works in linux.

Does this problem also occur in the live environment? Hardware failure is a possibility here.

Yeah it's probably hardware problem. I just thought of software because it pushed exactly with 10 second intervals. But now mouse went crazy doing stupid things. I just disabled touchpad with "xinput disable 16" command and external mouse works great. Maybe flex cable got out or touchpad is damaged. Problem is found, i'll solve it later.
