There is another way of getting trackpoint to work, at least for ThinkPad users), which is to open konsole and run:
xinput set-prop '"TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint"' "Evdev Wheel Emulation" 1 xinput set-prop '"TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint"' "Evdev Wheel Emulation Button" 2 xinput set-prop '"TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint"' "Evdev Wheel Emulation Timeout" 200 for vertical scrolling. Add the following as well if you want horizontal scrolling: xinput set-prop '"TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint"' "Evdev Wheel Emulation Axes" 6 7 4 5 You will need to run this every time you restart your computer but if you can add it to a script and add it to ~/.kde/Autostart (in Kubuntu) so it will run automatically everytime you log in to KDE. -- Trackpoint settings for wheel emulation in gpointing-device-settings are non-persistent https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/508754 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
