It is quite strange. In the past,for commit 293b915fd9be 
"Input: trackpoint - assume 3 buttons when buttons detection fails" there was
success reported for lenovo e470 and I see the same success report in that
bugzilla ticket.  I can also report success on lenovo e570.

But some seem to have problems, could it be that they are not including that
commit in the kernel they are running ? Or did a bios upgrade change the
behaviour ?
It would be best when we have a confirmation from a e470 owner that without the
proposed patch from Aaron the middle button does not work on his e470, and it
works with it.


Kind regards,
Ulrik
