[Bug 1506817] Re: left TPP/2 IBM TrackPoint "sticks on" randomly (X250 15.04)

 

Jont Allen, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available
from the very top line at the top of the page from
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/?C=N;O=D (the release
names are irrelevant for testing, and please do not test the daily
folder)? Install instructions are available at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds . This will allow
additional upstream developers to examine the issue.

If the latest kernel did not allow you to test to the issue (ex. you couldn't boot into the OS) please make a comment in your report about this, and continue to test the next most recent kernel version until you can test to the issue. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this issue is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon, next to the word Tags, located at the bottom of the report description:
kernel-fixed-upstream
kernel-fixed-upstream-X.Y-rcZ

Where X, Y, and Z are numbers corresponding to the kernel version.

If the mainline kernel does not fix the issue, please add the following tags:
kernel-bug-exists-upstream
kernel-bug-exists-upstream-X.Y-rcZ

Please note, an error to install the kernel does not fit the criteria of
kernel-bug-exists-upstream.

Once testing of the latest upstream kernel is complete, please mark this
report's Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results.

Thank you for your understanding.

Title:
  left TPP/2 IBM TrackPoint "sticks on" randomly (X250 15.04)

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I have reported the details of this problem at
  https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu-certification/+question/272142

  As summarized on that question:

  X250 analysis:
   I used the command on the X250
    evtest /dev/input/event15 | grep EV_KEY

   I can see the bug, as follows:

  I click on button 1 (left) over and over. When I push the button down,
  I see it register as 1,
  and when I let go of the key, it registers as a 0.

  The bug is that every now and then (once every 20 clicks), when I let go
  of the left mouse button (BIN_LEFT), it does not return to state 0 (it stays in state 1).

  This is highly random, but cant be triggered more often, by dragging a
  window, which I do with BIN_LEFT.

  I am using a brand new X250, purchased in late July 2015. The system was returned 3 times to IBM repair as I assumed
  this was a hardware error. Now with the above, it seems clear that this is a software issue.
