> Booting with the earlier 5.4.6-desktop-2 kernel restores full function
This is clear enough. I imagine you are doing that.
There was an intermediate kernel 5.4.10. Can you say what happened with that?

Dmesg from kernel 5.5.4, which fails
All the following kernel updates exhibit the same problem including the latest 5.5.4-desktop-1.mga7 release, so I'm still running 5.4.6 to mitigate the problem for now. Sorry for the slow reply I didn't get a notification of your response.

lspcidrake -v from 5.4.6 kernel
Same problem with the latest 5.5.9-1 kernel Still non-functional with the kernel-desktop-5.5.15-3 kernel. No change with 5.6.8-desktop-1 kernel, trackpoint and mouse buttons still non-functional. Reverting to the 5.4.6 kernel at boot time continues to restore functionality. A similar problem has been reported for Ubuntu here: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1225633/19-10-thinkpad-x1-tablet-gen-2-trackpoint-not-working Sadly no resolution. Further update, I think I missed the release of the 5.4.10 kernel, I have just tested this and the trackpoint and mouse buttons are working with this release, but definitely non-working with 5.4.12. So that narrows the regression down as being between the two. Can you attach dmesg from both working 5.4.10 and non-working 5.4.12 with no extra usb devices connected.

Dmesg from 5.4.12 kernel, first non working release
Dmesg attached as request, no extra USB devices were plugged in. ok, not much standing out besides fixes for zero-length endpoint descriptors and that the input devices get enumerated differently... but they all get listed... I've just pushed newer libinput packages to Core Updates Testing that has various updates including adaptions and quirks for newer kernels and hardwares... Please test them when they are available: x11-driver-input-libinput-0.29.0-1.mga7 libinput-udev-1.15.5-1.mga7 If that is not helping... is x11-driver-input-evdev installed ? if it is not installed, try to install it, does it help ? if it is installed, try to remove it, does it help ? Testing packages installed (but nothing else from testing), output below to confirm the versions. [timw@flossie ~]$ rpm -qa | grep x11-driver-input-libinput x11-driver-input-libinput-0.29.0-1.mga7 [timw@flossie ~]$ rpm -qa | grep libinput-udev libinput-udev-1.15.5-1.mga7 Sadly this had no impact on the problem. x11-driver-input-evdev wasn't installed, so I tried installing but this also made no difference. I tested the above against the 5.4.12 and 5.6.8 Kernels just in case again. All normal updates were installed prior to this test. Still no change with the 5.6.14-desktop-2 kernel. Doing some further digging there is a thread here: https://www.reddit.com/r/LinuxOnThinkpads/comments/evr42q/x1_tablet_3rd_gen_left_and_right_mouse_buttons/ffzic55/ for the 3rd gen X1 where the left and right mouse buttons aren't working with kernel 5.4.12+, I'm assuming the reporter never tried the trackpoint. The post includes links to these two kernel patches: https://lkml.org/lkml/2020/1/14/273 https://lkml.org/lkml/2020/1/14/251 and says that reverting them cures the problem. In a spirit of experimentation, I downloaded the source rpm for the 5.6.14-desktop-2 kernel, reverted the two patches from my post above and rebuilt. I can confirm that the custom kernel works perfectly with the mouse buttons and track point. Tim has this problem been reported to the kernel developers https://bugzilla.kernel.org/ ? Are you going to reply to the reddit thread stating that it is still happening in kernel 5.6.14 ? CC:

rihoward1 I don't have an account on Reddit and am reluctant to start one just to make a single comment. It's not a website I like, I tend to avoid it. No idea if the problem is on the Kernel bugzilla, when I have time I can look and report if necessary, but time is in very short supply at the moment. Mageia 7 is EOL since July 1st 2021. There will not have any further bugfix for this release. You are encouraged to upgrade to Mageia 8 as soon as possible. @reporter, if this bug still apply with Mageia 8, please let us know it. @packager, if you work on the Mageia 7 version of your package, please check the Mageia 8 package if issue is also present. In this case, please fix the Mageia 8 version instead. This bug report will be closed OLD if there is no further notice within 1st September 2021. Hi bug reporter and hi assignee and others involved, Please reopen this bug report if it is still valid for Mageia 8 or 9(cauldron), and change "Version:" in the upper left of this report accordingly. This report is being closed as OLD because it was filed against Mageia 7, for which support ended on June 30th 2021. Thanks, Marja Resolution:
