Hi Steven, hi all, THANKS. it worked like a charm.
(I'm not quite sure if I now have some "redundancy" and possible (invisible) conflicts in my Ubuntu, since I also "installed" the tpctl trackpoint utility as well as the gnome gpointing-device-settings tool - maybe generating the fdi file would have been sufficient? - I guess I shall see what each tool does as I become more experienced.) Harry ps: Although the more I look the more "construction sites" I find, ie places where I still need to change settings or learn new ways coming from XP going to Linux, having SCROLLING back the accustomed way makes Ubuntu almost feel like XP to me! I finally have my laptop back again!!! (I'm dual-booting with BING)...
