Salve, Xorg input device configuration went through so many changes lately that I’m really confused as to how to configure basic things properly.
Searching via Google is misleading to say the least. People refer to old xorg.conf settings, to sysfs files, xinput commands, HAL, udev, xorg.conf.d, etc. Simple question, asking for the current way to configure: How do I speed up my terribly slow TrackPoint? It’s called DualPoint Stick, ALPS, is in Lenovo ThinkPad X301. It’s owned by evdev driver. The touchpad is fine, so when I buff the acceleration in Gnome control panel for all devices it becomes super-jerky. I use up-to-date Xorg in Ubuntu Lucid, so please give me the pertinent options for xorg.conf.d stanza. xinput commands weren’t helping at all. They seem to only make things slower [1] – at best, sometimes after playing cursor became attracted to black hole at (1,1). There were references to configure sensitivity via sysfs, but I don’t have these files [2]. Would »Option "Resolution"« or »Option "Sensitivity"« help at all? Are they deprecated? man evdev doesn’t mention anything. Can I not buff the sensitivity in the device itself? Out of ideas, Tobias [1] http://xorg.freedesktop.org/wiki/Development/Documentation/PointerAcceleration#Scenarios [2] http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/How_to_configure_the_TrackPoint _______________________________________________ [email protected]: X.Org support Archives: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg Info: http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg
