Olegs Jeremejevs (myfajoarco) wrote : ThinkPad Edge 11 touchpad+trackpoint freezes for several seconds every 2-5 minutes

I have Lenovo Thinkpad Edge 11, the cheapest AMD version, with Athlon II NEO K145, ATI Radeon HD 4225. When I bought it one month ago I installed Ubuntu 10.10 on it and was having problem mentioned in the summary. After that I tried the latest Arch Linux, and there was the same situation. Then I installed fresh Ubuntu 11.04 release and the problem is still here. I can't say, is it solved in 2.6.39 rc1-rc5 or not, because my graphics card can't initialize properly. My current linux-generic version is 2.6.38.8.22.

External mouse works normally, no freezes detected (1 hour of testing), without disabling hardware controls. When I use integrated controls, freeze affects both devices - trackpoint and touchpad. Then I have to wait for ~3 seconds and then everything works as it was before. Sometimes right before freeze pointer jumps to random position on the screen, sometimes it keeps old position. Button states are kept to the end of the freeze. Everything, excluding touchpad and trackpoint, works (keyboard, power button, sound, video, lid detectors).

I'd like to help investigating this, but I have no idea how to do it.
