Description Nathan Acks 2012-09-01 23:17:02 UTC

Distribution: Arch Linux
Kernel version: 3.5.3

Under kernel 3.4.9 the touch screen on my ThinkPad X220 Tablet worked flawlessly and without configuration; however, after updating to 3.5.3 the touch screen is no longer responsive, and does not appear to be properly detected.

Output of lsusb shows my touch screen just fine:

*Most* of the time the wacom kernel module loads correctly, though I've noticed that it isn't present in the output of lsmod | grep wacom about 1 boot out of 4.

wacom                  41218  0 
usbcore               147434  7 uas,wacom,uvcvideo,usb_storage,ehci_hcd,usbhid,cdc_acm

When the wacom kernel module is loaded, I see something like the following lines in dmesg | grep "[w|W]acom":

[   20.382806] input: Wacom ISDv4 E6 Pen as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.0/usb2/2-1/2-1.5/2-1.5:1.0/input/input9
[   20.388085] input: Wacom ISDv4 E6 Finger as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.0/usb2/2-1/2-1.5/2-1.5:1.1/input/input10
[   20.389276] usbcore: registered new interface driver wacom

However, by the time my machine finishes booting the path /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.0/usb2/2-1/2-1.5/2-1.5:1.0/input/input9 doesn't exist!

Booting into an Ubuntu live CD (kernel version 3.2) results in a properly working touch screen, as does downgrading to kernel version 3.4.9. The only difference I can find between the working and non-working configurations is the presence of /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.0/usb2/2-1/2-1.5/2-1.5:1.0/input/input9 (or the equivalent, corresponding to the output of dmesg).

Filing here, as there don't seem to be any Arch Linux related patches that would cause this.

Comment 2 Larry 2012-09-03 23:40:02 UTC

I confirm this bug. After I upgraded to the 3.5 kernel, wacom does not even show up in /proc/bus/input/devices.

uname -r 
3.5.3-1-ARCH

Comment 3 Dmitry Torokhov 2012-09-04 18:12:02 UTC

A full dmesg of failing case might be useful.

Comment 4 Nathan Acks 2012-09-04 19:34:25 UTC

Created attachment 79281 [details]
dmesg output for kernel 3.5.3 (fail)

Current output of dmesg under kernel 3.5.3. Note that neither /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.0/usb2/2-1/2-1.5/2-1.5:1.0/input/input10 nor /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.0/usb2/2-1/2-1.5/2-1.5:1.1/input/input11 are actually present.

Comment 5 Ping 2012-09-04 20:16:39 UTC

I do not have ThinkPad X220. From what I can tell, commit ea2e60244573a9204c8cee9b4fb181106784c617 ( http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git;a=commitdiff;h=ea2e60244573a9204c8cee9b4fb181106784c617) needs to be applied first. Please apply it to 3.5.3 and test it again. The two patches (committed on June 29) that fixed ThinkPad X220 issue were based on the patch (committed on June 12).

Comment 6 Nathan Acks 2012-09-07 05:06:33 UTC

@Ping: Recompiling the kernel with the June 12th patch you link to appears to resolve the issue.

Comment 7 Ping 2012-09-07 06:15:29 UTC

Thank you Nathan for your testing. Dmitry, please backport patch to 3.5.3.

Comment 8 Nathan Acks 2012-09-22 04:52:28 UTC

This issue is still present for me under kernel 3.5.4. However, the linked patch no longer resolves it.

Comment 9 Nathan Acks 2012-09-22 13:59:21 UTC

Scratch that... Touchscreen works on 3.5.4 with the linked patch, but I have to suspend/resume first. Weird.

Comment 10 Ping 2012-09-22 22:58:18 UTC

@Nathan: That proves the linked patch is the solution. Without that patch, tablet was initialized to a wrong mode. That's why a suspend/resume or restart of the system is needed before reloading the driver. We need to reset the tablet's firmware by suspend/resume or restart.

Comment 11 Ping 2012-09-23 00:20:37 UTC

Dmitry,please backport the patch to 3.5. Thank you.
