Hi, I have an external USB IBM ThinkPad UltraNav keyboard[1] attached to my laptop and I'd like to get scrolling to work. Currently to scroll I mouse over the scrollbar, click and move the pointer. I have looked at some resources[2][3][4] but was unsuccessful.
I'll append some information on my keyboard to the end of this email. Note that my laptop is not a ThinkPad, but it has its own synaptics touchpad. I include its lsusb output as well. I test by loading up a long page in Firefox, then hold down the middle mouse button and scrolling with the red nubbie immediately above the B key, but the page does not scroll. Any pointers? Thanks!
