Title:
changing mouse sensitivity in system settings has no effect on
trackpoint (lenovo e325)
Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
TO REPRODUCE:
1. Open mouse and touchpad settings in System Settings
2. Put sensitivity and acceleration to max.
3. Doubleclick on the face
RESULT: Trackpoint is as slow as it was before. This leads to me
having to use more pressure on the trackpoint, which causes my fingers
to hurt after a while.
EXPECTED RESULT: Mouse pointer should move faster while using
TrackPoint.
My computer "Thinkpad Edge E325" is Ubuntu Certified, so I would
expect this kind of feature to work.
WORKAROUND: On the following page I found a script that allows to change
sensitivity:
http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Talk:How_to_configure_the_TrackPoint
A value of 165 (instead of 180) was perfect for me. The default is 128.
#!/bin/sh
T=`find /sys/devices/platform/i8042 -name name | xargs grep -Fl TrackPoint`
SERIO_DIR="${T%/*/*/name}"
sudo sh -c "echo -n 180 > $SERIO_DIR/speed"
sudo sh -c "echo -n 180 > $SERIO_DIR/sensitivity"
