It still doesn't work. And I don't see any changes to the relevant drivers. So I've run apport-collect as you suggested, and the results are above. Please let me know if you need any additional information from me. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1287148 Title: Thinkpad clickpad + Trackpoint cannot emulate middle button scrolling To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1287148/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1287148] Re: Thinkpad clickpad + Trackpoint cannot emulate middle button scrolling
apport information ** Tags added: apport-collected reproducible trusty ubuntu ** Description changed: I'm testing with a freshly-updated Trusty Tahir daily (2014/March/2) on a Lenovo X1 Carbon (2014 refresh) laptop. IBM/Lenovo Thinkpad laptops have a "Trackpoint": a red "joystick mouse" in the middle of the keyboard. Historically this is accompanied by three mouse buttons directly below the space bar. One beloved feature: if you hold down the middle mouse button, you can scroll a window up/down/left/right with the Trackpoint. This feature is implemented in X with the "Evdev Wheel Emulation" properties of the xinput driver for the Trackpoint device. The latest Thinkpad laptops (X240, X1 Carbon 2014 refresh) remove the hard buttons, and have a "clickpad" instead of a trackpad.One must use the "soft" mouse buttons provided by the clickpad. But now we have a problem. The clickpad soft buttons are implemented in the Synaptic driver. And the Synaptic driver doesn't support middle-button- scrolling. If I run % xinput --list-props "TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint" I see property entries starting with "Evdev Wheel Emulation". Setting them on this device doesn't enable middle-button-scrolling. And if I run % xinput --list-props "SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad" I don't see those property entries at all. I tried setting them manually with "xinput --set-int-prop" but they were ignored. One of the maintainers of Arch Linux got middle-button-scrolling with a Trackpoint + clickpad to work! But he had to create a new driver. It looks like he started with the evdev driver, and merged in support for the Synaptics and Trackpoint devices. The resulting driver is published here: https://bitbucket.org/esrevinu/xf86-input-evdev-trackpoint - It would be fantastic if Ubuntu 14.04 also supported this feature. - Thanks! + It would be fantastic if Ubuntu 14.04 also supported this feature.

I would be thrilled to! I'll do that in the next 24 hours.

Larry Hastings, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ . If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report: apport-collect -p xorg 1287148 Please ensure you have xdiagnose installed, and that you click the Yes button for attaching additional debugging information. As well, please note given that the information from the prior release is already available, doing this on a release prior to the development one would not be helpful.

Oh, it seems that this driver is not an official part of Arch Linux, it's available in the Arch User Repository, which seems equivalent to an Ubuntu PPA. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1287148 Title: Thinkpad clickpad + Trackpoint cannot emulate middle button scrolling To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-synaptics/+bug/1287148/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
