Public bug reported: Binary package hint: xinput
I don't know is this an issue in X or xinput... I've used XUbuntu on a Thinkpad for several years. I have configured middle-click-scrolling (so middle-click + drag equals to the scroll wheel) as descibed at http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/How_to_configure_the_TrackPoint#Configuration_using_xinput using: xinput set-int-prop "TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint" "Evdev Wheel Emulation" 8 1 xinput set-int-prop "TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint" "Evdev Wheel Emulation Button" 8 2 xinput set-int-prop "TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint" "Evdev Wheel Emulation Axes" 8 6 7 4 5 I have configured the script to be run when X starts up, and everything has been dandy. When I upgraded to XUbuntu 10.10, however, every time I suspend and resume my laptop X forgets the xinput settings and I have to run the script again. Additionally, every now and then (maybe once or twice a week) when resuming the script stops working because X has detected the input device in duplicate: $ xinput set-int-prop "TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint" "Evdev Wheel Emulation" 8 1 Warning: There are multiple devices matching 'TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint'. To ensure the correct one is selected, please use the device ID, or prefix the device name with 'pointer:' or 'keyboard:' as appropriate. unable to find device TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint $ xinput list ⎡ Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)] ⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)] ⎜ ↳ SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad id=10 [slave pointer (2)] ⎜ ↳ TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint id=12 [slave pointer (2)] ⎜ ↳ TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint id=13 [slave pointer (2)] ⎣ Virtual core keyboard id=3 [master keyboard (2)] ↳ Virtual core XTEST keyboard id=5 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Power Button id=6 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Video Bus id=7 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Sleep Button id=8 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ AT Translated Set 2 keyboard id=9 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ ThinkPad Extra Buttons id=11 [slave keyboard (3)] (Devices 12 and 13) If I manually run the commands for device 13 they work, but not automatically. On the contrary, occasionally the Trackpoint (nib) and its corresponding buttons stop working completely, and only the Touchpad functions. I have to reboot to get it working properly again. The constant messing around with the mouse settings is very frustrating, especially since it's been working fine for so long. ** Affects: xinput (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xinput in ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/702550 Title: X forgets xinput settings on suspend _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
