Trackpoint scroll in Kubuntu 10.04

[Guest]

Hi!

I can't get the middle-button on my IBM R40 to scroll as it does in windows. I've read in various forums and found many suggestions on how to solve this, but noting seems to work.

I've now added the /usr/lib/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-thinkpad.conf document containing the following text:

Section "InputClass"
Identifier "Trackpoint Wheel Emulation"
MatchProduct "TrackPoint"
MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
Driver "evdev"
Option "EmulateWheel" "true"
Option "EmulateWheelButton" "2"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "false"
Option "XAxisMapping" "6 7"
Option "YAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection

I've also tried to change the MatchProduct. And reboot after each change.

The trackpoint behaves in the same way as before...

Can anyone help me out?

Thanks!

Hi,
I have a Thinkpad T60p, but I believe the trackpoint version is the same as yours.
I guess you already know the ThinkWiki-website... here is the trackpoint article:
http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/How_to...the_TrackPoint

Apart from the xorg.conf.d method there are also two other methods; have you tried these?
I'm not sure how I got it to work, but it does (in Lucid 64bit). There is a xorg.conf.d file present on my system and it is identical to yours, but I suspect that I actually used the Gnome-utility GPointing-Device. At least I can use it to switch on/off and change settings of my touchpad, trackpoint, and mouse (including trackpoint scrolling).

Maybe you should try GPointing-Device... it's §2.1 in the ThinkWiki-article.

Hope this helps...
