Hi, I think that is actually ok. Thinkpads have an UltraNav which consists of the Trackpoint and the Touchpad. The touchpad works fine with the synaptics driver and the Trackpoint is working as expected with evdev.

Ok. I wouldn't have expected this due to the errors I've seen in the X logfile with the combination mtrack/evdev.

With regard to mtrack, why is it being chosen for the touchpad?

It's preferred (for touchpad, see the rule file) over synaptics for users, who want to play around with multitouch support. So that's intentional. Hence closing this bugreport as INVALID. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
