It seems that FAQ might need a little updating, that file might found under %PROGRAMFILES% now, C:\Program Files\Synaptics\SynTP\TP4table.dat or C:\Program Files\Lenovo\Trackpoint\tp4table.dat for example. > And I do get the trackpoint events, they are just delayed until I release > that button; > on release I get hundreds of correct events scrolling my window to somewhere. > How many events I get depends on how long or how intense I pressed the track > point (sounds reasonable to me). So, if you can't try the workaround, perhaps you could do a bit of investigation? Download the latest snapshot built with debugging enabled from [1] Run it using 'WIN_DEBUG_MESSAGES=1 ./XWin -logverbose 3 <your usual XWin options, -multiwindow for example>' Open up an xterm You should then be able to see WM_MOUSEWHEEL messages being delivered in the debug output from XWin when you use the trackpoint scrolling. Are they being delivered on time, or only when you release the the button? -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ FAQ: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/
