    Finger touch not working on ThinkPad x200 tablet

    Can't make finger touch work on my ThinkPad x200 tablet. Stylus works fine. Finger touch doesn't work at all, I get no response.

    xinput list

    Re: Finger touch not working on ThinkPad x200 tablet running on Ubuntu Mate

    Does anybody have any input or experience with this problem? I'm doing it in Ubuntu Mate, but I tested it in Ubuntu 14.04 and it's doing the same thing.

    Hi Nalavanje, sometimes, and you never know when, tagging the thread with the flavour that you're using doesn't help attract potential helpers so I've amended the thread title and removed the thread prefix for you.

    Hope that helps.

    I have seen some bug fixes for finger touch lately, though not all for Thinkpads. Have you tried 15.10 (beta) in a live boot?

    Don't use this space for a list of your hardware. It only creates false hits in the search engines.

    I didn't. That might be a good idea. I'll let you know how did it go after I try it. Thanks.

    Re: Finger touch not working on ThinkPad x200 tablet

    Finally I found out why finger-touch didn't work. This specific model ThinkPad X200 (7449-9FU) does not include finger-touch by design. Some later X200 did, but not this one.
