1- I've compiled libinput from the git repo as the one that comes with linux is old and a I think doesn't have the fix that is needed. 2- I've created a new rules in the udev database like this: sudo cat /etc/udev/hwdb.d/71-pointingstick-local.hwdb evdev:name:*ETPS/2\ Elantech\ TrackPoint:dmi:bvn*:bvr*:bd*:svn*:pn*:pvr*:* LIBINPUT_ATTR_TRACKPOINT_RANGE=15 3- I've reloaded the udev db with udevadm hwdb -u and rebooted the system. 4- Profit Here you find some interesting links that talk about the issue: https://wayland.freedesktop.org/libinput/doc/latest/pointer-acceleration.html https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/5902 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=91369 [which according to ff57 is a "badware" site] https://wayland.freedesktop.org/libinput/doc/latest/building_libinput.html Have a nice day, with a working trackpoint Carlo ** Bug watch added: github.com/systemd/systemd/issues #5902 https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/5902 ** Bug watch added: freedesktop.org Bugzilla #91369 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=91369 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to libinput in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1733083 Title: trackpoint slow and hard to move To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libinput/+bug/1733083/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ 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
