Hello,

using the latest 4.12-rc1 kernel, the trackpoint and touchpad of my
Thinkpad X250 are not recognized.

This is caused by commit
e839ffa  Input: synaptics - add support for Intertouch devices


The specific problem seems to be the detection of whether to use
synaptics_intertouch for the psmouse module or not. That parameter
is set to -1 by default, in which case synaptics_intertouch is
enabled on my device.

When I explicitly set that parameter to 0, the trackpoint and touchpad
are recognized and work as expected.

Removing my device from smbus_pnp_ids in 4.12 rc1 fixes the issue
without need to manually disable synaptics_intertouch in the psmouse
module:

Is the ThinkPad X250 not supporting intertouch or is there another
problem causing the input devices not to work with it enabled?
Do you have i801_smbus driver enabled and loaded?


Thanks.
