Comment 59 for bug 787738

Just created an account to say exactly the same thing that's been said over and over and hopefully this can get sorted out.

Thinkpad x395 yoga on Arch linux-lts 6.6.28-1-lts I tried all kernels for arch and nothing.
I'm forced to reload psmouse every time the trackpoint stops working. It seems to be spotty at best. Sometimes it's not detected after boot sometimes it is. It's an Elantech trackpoint. Here's the logs:

This is what gets reported every time it fails. Listed as: I: Bus=0011 Vendor=0002 Product=000a Version=0000

Works fine under windows I even upgraded the trackpoint's firmware to see if it helped (it did not)
