Public bug reported: On a fresh Natty install (running livecd from 4/3/2011) there is no scrolling support for my Thinkpad x200s.
The x200s has not fingerpad, just the trackpoint and the 3 buttons. Scrolling is done by holding down the middle button and using the trackpoint to scroll up/down/left/right. To support this I used this guide: http://itgen.blogspot.com/2008/12 /installing-arch-linux-on-lenovo.html Basically, I created a xorg.conf with the contents of: Section "InputClass" Identifier "Trackpoint Wheel Emulation" MatchProduct "TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint|DualPoint Stick|Synaptics Inc. Composite TouchPad / TrackPoint|ThinkPad USB Keyboard with TrackPoint|USB Trackpoint pointing device" MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*" Option "EmulateWheel" "true" Option "EmulateWheelButton" "2" Option "Emulate3Buttons" "false" Option "XAxisMapping" "6 7" Option "YAxisMapping" "4 5" EndSection Is there a way to get this kind of support out of the box? ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/749557 Title: Thinkpad x200s lacks middle mouse trackpoint scrolling -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
