Touchpad and TrackPoint Does Not Work on Lenovo X1C6 and X280

This bug is missing log files that will aid in diagnosing the problem. While running an Ubuntu kernel (not a mainline or third-party kernel) please enter the following command in a terminal window:

apport-collect 1723986

and then change the status of the bug to 'Confirmed'.

If, due to the nature of the issue you have encountered, you are unable to run this command, please add a comment stating that fact and change the bug status to 'Confirmed'.

This change has been made by an automated script, maintained by the Ubuntu Kernel Team.

This bug is awaiting verification that the kernel in -proposed solves the problem. Please test the kernel and update this bug with the results. If the problem is solved, change the tag 'verification-needed-artful' to 'verification-done-artful'. If the problem still exists, change the tag 'verification-needed-artful' to 'verification-failed-artful'.

If verification is not done by 5 working days from today, this fix will be dropped from the source code, and this bug will be closed.

See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you!

I attached the log.

The default kernel the touchpad and trackpoint can't work.

After upgrade kernel from proprosed, the touchpad works, but the trackpoint still can't work.

@binli, there's another ops to do: remove i2c_801 from modules blacklist, please try again.

@Aaron,

 After reboot I found the touchpad couldn't work, a little weird, and I removed i2c_801, but the i2c_i801 was not loaded, I tried to install it by manual, found that this module is not exist.

After install the linux-image-extra, and removed the i2c_i801 from blacklist, I found the touchpad and trackpoint work fine.

Great thanks, it is working on my C1X5!

For those wondering what "remove i2c_801 from modules blacklist" means:
You should modify /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf and comment the line with "blacklist i2c_i801" (i.e. add a # at the beginning of the line).

Can the fix be downported to 14.04 LTS(4.4 series kernel) release as well?
