While I was using my T420, the touchpad suddenly stopped responding, as did the mouse buttons and trackpoint. The output of xinput shows no PS/2 keyboard/mouse interface available. The output of lsmod shows that the psmouse module is unused. I checked the BIOS to see if somehow these got turned off. I turned them off, rebooted, then rebooted again, and turned them back on again. I removed the hard drive and inserted a Windows 7 hard drive I keep around for when I need to use Windows on this laptop. Still nothing. All this while, the keyboard has continued to function as expected. What could have caused the ps/2 mouse interface to fail like this? -- David Griffith [email protected] A: Because it fouls the order in which people normally read text.
