  i was about to send a screenshot, but i can’t reproduce it now. it freezes and stops responding to some input, and all the dock+appmenu icons are gone. i can update if it happens again.

  I’m using the same generic ps2 driver for the touchpad. its an alps glidepoint, works perfect on windows but i can only get its basic features to work on windows 7 with the proper drivers, needless to say thats a bit unworkable.

  on linux it works initially with multitouch and everything, then starts to miss clicks or click when it isnt supposed to, then starts moving erratically and becomes unusable. it behaves similar to a wet touchscreen. ive tried different kernel versions, livebooted a couple different distros and tried a few very old solutions i found floating around, including another driver.

    Is this a Thinkpad? And of so, is the BIOS s3 on “Linux” or “Windows and Linux”?

    Also are you running Wayland? If so ot might be worth trying to log in with Xorg instead (bottom right when logging in).
