Dear kernel Developers, I am trying to get working the touchpad of my ThinkPad X300. Googling for "thinkpad x300 touchpad alps" gives a number of results from forums.lenovo.com where people state it is an ALPS touchpad. I use Arch Linux, kernel version 3.14.4-1, and it is recognized as PS/2 Generic Mouse. I have tried everything I found on forums with a reasonable research effort, without success. Interestingly, however, at some point (unfortunately, I don't remember which setup it was with, but I am pretty sure it was when I tried the patch available at https://github.com/he1per/psmouse-dkms-alpsv7) I managed to recognize the touchpad as PS/2 ALPS DualPoint Touchpad, or something similar (unfortunately I didn't take a note of it), then I changed things in my 50-synaptics.conf, rebooted, and the touchpad was detected as PS/2 Generic Mouse again! As far as I understand things, this shouldn't happen! I saw others reporting that the touchpad works for them under Linux -- for example, here: https://github.com/tsgates/arch-wiki-markdown/blob/master/wiki/Lenovo_Thinkpad_X300.md So, I guess there must be a solution, and I would be so happy if you guys could help me finding it.
