Lenovo z5070 touchpad problem

Hello, Left touchpad button doesnt work in my z5070 with opensuse 13.2 Its similar problem as https://lists.debian.org/debian-kernel/2014/11/msg00021.html

It`s thought tahat problem in kernel 3.16. Because in fedora21 with 3.17 left button works fine.

What should I do?
wait for patch in OpenSUSE
or compile 3.17 by myself, or recomiple 3.16 with ubuntu patches ?

You could compile your own, but the simplest way to upgrade might be to check out

https://software.opensuse.org/package/kernel-desktop

Select ‘Show other versions’ > ‘Show unstable packages’ and install a 3.17.x kernel from there.

Take care if using proprietary drives though.

in 3.16.7-24 fixed

Good to know. :slight_smile:

So was this installed from “unstable” packages? I’m looking to buy a Z50-70 and put '13.2 on it, can you advise if there are any other issues with this piece of hardware in relation to OpenSuse 13.2?

Cheers
