@hao (#35): Yes, I think you have to add the hal-thing. I just updated to the karmic-kernel on jaunty, so my hal-rules didn't change and I had added it before.

[Bug 292047] Re: middle-button scroll disabled on trackpoint
I've been fighting with disabling touchpad and making middle button scrolling work on my Dell Latitude E4300 for a couple of days now. One problem for me was the fact that sometimes the kernel mouse driver lost sync: psmouse.c: DualPoint TouchPad at isa0060/serio1/input0 lost sync at byte 1 This caused the pointer devices to dissappear and reappear with different names, e.g. PS/2 Generic Mouse, DualPoint Stick, AlpsPS/2 ALPS DualPoint TouchPad, PS/2 ALPS DualPoint TouchPad and the mouse pointer occasionally jumping around when I accidentally touched the touchpad while typing. The sync problem got apparently cured for me with this: http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/12/8/182 A reliable way to cause sync errors for me is to keep moving the pointer with the pointing stick and simultaneously keep tapping the touchpad.

Yes this is a problem thanks for taking the time to report it. I thought there was another bug to the same effect as this but I am now unable to find it. It would be optimal if by default middle-button scrolling was turned on for thinkpads. I also would like to learn a new workaround for this as it has been an issue for a long time and does not seem to be likely to get attention. ** Changed in: xorg (Ubuntu) Status: New = Confirmed -- middle-button scroll disabled on trackpoint in Intrepid https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/292047 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 292047] Re: middle-button scroll disabled on trackpoint in Intrepid
The most simple workaround would be simply to know what to paste into xorg.conf to get this working. I would have done this already except that I am confused by the changes to the way X configures itself with automatic hardware detection.chaumont-gistoux -- middle-button scroll disabled on trackpoint in Intrepid https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/292047 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
