X220 BIOS 1.39 and later - trackpoint ?

#1 Post by Puppy » Sun May 31, 2015 3:29 am

There is isolated report that after updating X220 BIOS to version 1.39 (current version is 1.40 released this month) trackpoint stopped work. Can anyone confirm that ? I am still with 1.38. Thanks.

Same here. I haven't updated it myself, it came with it when I bought it. But the previous owner must have updated it, since the unit was manufactured before 1.39 was released.

I'm using 1.39 and my trackpoint is working fine (with trackpad disabled in BIOS).

Same here, my three X220s have 1.39 as well and the trackpoints work with no issues

I have an X220 that I bought off eBay two months ago. Installed Ubuntu 14.04.2 (LTS) and so far no issues.

It has BIOS version 1.21. Is it worth doing a BIOS update to the 1.39 (or 1.40) version? I am of the 'if it isn't broke, don't fix it' persuasion.
