I'm using an IBM T21 Thinkpad w/Win2K & Cygwin/XFree86 4.2.0 installed via Cygwin setup:
My computer has a trackpoint mouse and a third button that is supposed to let it scroll like an enhanced wheel. But it doesn't work under X. Has anyone already looked into making something like this work under Cygwin/XFree86? I didn't find anything in the FAQ/Manual. Google came up with a number of solutions for Linux/XFree86, but all required new drivers. Perhaps I need a Windows driver that makes it look more like a wheel mouse? The latest driver from IBM doesn't help (I'm not sure how it scrolls, though--it can scroll on both axes). I think the driver at http://rsim.cs.uiuc.edu/~sachs/tp-scroll/ does what I want (allowing the scroll button to double as a middle button), but again that's for Linux. I could live with using -emulate3buttons and just using the scroll button for scrolling. For now, I turn the scroll button into a middle button. I didn't find any info on turning middle-button/mouse-moves into scroll actions, but that would be another way to approach the problem. -Jerry
