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

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:

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

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;

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:

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.

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?
Offline
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.

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

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.

Good luck with that.

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.

Hope your warranty isn't up yet.

Nope, only had it for a month
