Bug Description

Touchpad/Trackpoint on dock not working

It appears as an i8042 device on /dev/input/event5, which emits data when using input-events and using device

Xorg finds it, it's listed in xinput as USB Device, but using the device in X does not work - only action is to display the cursor.

The touchscreen and USB mice work fine

Thanks

Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel? Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please test the latest v3.13 kernel[0].

If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tag 'kernel-fixed-upstream'.

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the tag: 'kernel-bug-exists-upstream'.

If you are unable to test the mainline kernel, for example it will not boot, please add the tag: 'kernel-unable-to-test-upstream'.
Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug as "Confirmed".

Thanks in advance.

Thanks - I've tried the ubuntu 14.04 livecd (3.13) and mainline 3.14 kernels - it's exactly the same in both. I've also tried 3.8 kernel, the same with that - problem exactly the same

I managed to get basic functionality by enabling the HID_MULTI_INPUT quirk for the device:

sudo rmmod usbhid && sudo modprobe -v usbhid quirks="0x0930:0x0807:0x0040"

If you do this the touchpad and trackpoint is just recognised as a basic mouse (but better than nothing!). The clickpad buttons don't work, but the trackpoint buttons do.

This device should be using the synaptics driver but I don't know how to do that
