The 5th generation Thinkpad X1 Carbons use Synaptics touchpads accessible over SMBus/RMI, combined with ALPS or Elantech trackpoint devices instead of classic IBM/Lenovo trackpoints. Unfortunately there is no way for ALPS driver to detect whether it is dealing with touchpad + trackpoint combination or just a trackpoint, so we end up with a "phantom" dualpoint ALPS device in addition to real touchpad and trackpoint. Given that we do not have any special advanced handling for ALPS or Elantech trackpoints (unlike IBM trackpoints that have separate driver and a host of options) we are better off keeping the trackpoints in PS/2 emulation mode. We achieve that by setting serio type to SERIO_PS_PSTHRU, which will limit number of protocols psmouse driver will try. In addition to getting rid of the "phantom" touchpads, this will also speed up probing of F03 pass-through port.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
