How do I get my Thinkpad trackpoint to scroll?
Are there any other Thinkpad users here?
I've got an IBM Thinkpad A22m, and I can't get the scroll feature to work -- I press and hold down the middle button, but no scrolling happens. I followed the directions on Thinkwiki for modifying my xorg.conf, but did not have luck. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks, -Drew |
Please post the lines for your mouse in /etc/X11/xorg.conf .

There are two things to edit, and try again.

As root edit these changes and save, restart the Xserver with a Ctrl + Alt + Backspace. Log back in and try again. Post back the results. |
Cliff,
You were right about the syntax being important. I copied the Mouse section from the Thinkwiki and compared it to mine. The quotation marks were uniformly missing in my file. I ended up simply replacing what was in my xorg.conf with the one from thinkwiki. Everything is working well now. Regards, -Drew |
Glad to hear it.
