Hi there,
I like to use Trackpoint Scrolling on my Thinkpad - but how to do it? Sorry, I'm a newbie in SL. Best regards! |

Hi, Trackpoint Scrolling is a very nice feature from ThinkPad notebooks. How to configure TrackPoint in SL there is a solution in ThinkWiki: - install xorg-x11-apps # xinput is in xorg-x11-apps - edit user settings in ~/.bashrc
now it works fine  P.S. maybe you must reboot your system. |

Alternatively, download an RPM of Gpointing-Device-Settings meant for Fedora 12 or so (that's the one I used). It'll install as expected, and gives you a nice GUI for configuring TrackPoint and touchpad settings. For TrackPoint scrolling, set the wheel button to Button 2. Good luck and enjoy
 EDIT: ugh, apparently the settings don't stick after reboot... |

So it would seem...oh well. Guess I need to stop assuming everything works the same on SL as on Fedora... |
