Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel? Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please test the latest v3.14 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.

Alfredo Gemma, could you please test the latest mainline kernel via http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.15-rc2-trusty/ and advise to the results?

[Alfredo Gemma (alfredo-gemma)]

Installing the latest mainline kernel fixes the issue.

Thank you.

[penalvch (penalvch)]

Alfredo Gemma, installing a mainline kernel would not be considered Status Fix Released, as the fix from mainline has not landed in the Ubuntu kernel. For more on Status please see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Status .

[Joseph Salisbury (jsalisbury)]

Thank you for taking the time to file a bug report on this issue.

However, given the number of bugs that the Kernel Team receives during any development cycle it is impossible for us to review them all. Therefore, we occasionally resort to using automated bots to request further testing. This is such a request.

  With the recent release of this Ubuntu release, would like to confirm if this bug is still present. Please test again with the newer kernel and indicate in the bug if this issue still exists or not.

You can update to the latest development kernel by simply running the following commands in a terminal window:

    sudo apt-get update
    sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

If the bug still exists, change the bug status from Incomplete to Confirmed. If the bug no longer exists, change the bug status from Incomplete to Fix Released.

If you want this bot to quit automatically requesting kernel tests, add a tag named: bot-stop-nagging.

 Thank you for your help, we really do appreciate it.

I hope in my changing of this bug's status I am not breaking any correct path of resolvement, as I can confirm the same bug happens on the same model in my case.

I've looked at bug #1166442, and tried step #137 to see if that dkms patch would resolve anything.
However, the only remedy so far has been to use `modprobe psmouse proto=imps`.

[Thor K. H. (nitrolinken)]

In addition, I would point out something weird that I noticed: if I hold the middle-click down, the cursor functions fine. I can left-click while doing the middle-click, and it'll be as if I'm not using the middle-click button at all.

However, the moment I let go of the middle-click, the cursor stops moving.
I've attached evtest-log with middle-click (as the other one's empty), plus Xorg.0.log with.

[Thor K. H. (nitrolinken)]

Additional Xorg.0.log from after performing evtest in a different VT.

[Thor K. H. (nitrolinken)]

Additional information, in regards to comment #10: I've updated to a mainline kernel, 3.17-rc5-utopic, and the symptoms are all the same except for one thing: now, whilst holding down the middle-click button, I can also press the right-click button and have it register.

[penalvch (penalvch)]

Thor K. H., thank you for your comment. So your hardware and problem may be tracked, could you please file a new report with Ubuntu by executing the following in a terminal while booted into the default Ubuntu kernel (not a mainline one) via:
