http://crunchbanglinux.org – Had a bit of trouble getting the trackpoints middle-button scrolling working under Debian Squeeze on an x31 IBM. Followed the hal-policy directions suggested at http://wiki.debian.org/InstallingDebian … Trackpoint unsuccessfully.  I'm unclear as to whether this might be due to the supposed upcoming deprecation of hal (at least in ubuntu.... http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/How_to_co … TrackPoint.)Turns out a edit of / (HowTos)

Trackpoint speed/sensitivity 36 weeks 5 days ago

The trackpoint parameters won't be used until X starts. Somewhere in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d would be a better place to set them afaik.Maybe this will help http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/How_to_co … org.conf.d

Hi,

How can I configure Lenovo ThinkPad USB Keyboard with TrackPoint? Pointing stick on my laptop (Dell E6400) and trackpoint on my another laptop (IBM X31) works fine, but I cannot make the external USB trackpoint scrolling to work.

I'm on debian testing, and after rebooting (after an uptime of 3 weeks or so, that included a bunch of package updates, I believe including the kernel) the other day, the fine-adjustment - what a golfer would call putting - of the mouse pointer position gets really hard, it feels like the pointer is still moving, although the the trackpoint is already back at its center position.

My TrackPoint and all buttons are actually working on my Lenovo ThinkPad Edge 11" AMD1.4. For that, I have installed TrackPoint Scroll and ThinkPad Special Keys packages.

The only thing is that my track point is laggy every 20 seconds or so. It does not react for a second and then everything works well again.

I've installed Ubuntu on my Thinkpad L530 and everything's running pretty smooth except for the trackpoint (that red button in between the keys for moving your pointer) as well as the corresponding left/right mouse buttons below the spacebar.

I only find solutions to fix scrolling, which didn't work but that's not addressing the problem anyway.

Has anyone found a way to use the trackpoint and bu

Hello,is there anyone who could help me with setting up TrackPoint Scrolling on ThinkPad X61? I am used to scroll that way from Windows and Ubuntu. I have tried CrunchbangLinux when it used to be based on Ubuntu - 8.10 and then 9.04...

Thinkpad disable TrackPoint 1 year 15 weeks ago

I have a new thinkpad x220t running Arch Linux. There seems to be a problem in the products hardware architecture as the TrackPoint is moving when you convert the thinkpad into tablet mode and put pressure on the screen. Therefore I'd like to toggle the TrackPoint using a little bash script called by ACPId.
