Solved the problem by the following procedures: 1) Download and extract the arch package https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/xf/xf86-input-evdev-trackpoint/xf86-input-evdev-trackpoint.tar.gz 2) Download the source packages of xserver-xorg-input-synaptics_1.7.4 and xserver-xorg-input-evdev_2.8.2 from the debian unstable branch
Place all three packages (extracted) in the same folder (<folder>) such that the three packages reside in <folder>/arch, <folder>/synaptics and <folder>/evdev (rename the folders where necessary). Run the following script: #!/bin/bash cp synaptics/src/{eventcomm.c,eventcomm.h,properties.c,synaptics.c,synapticsstr.h,synproto.c,synproto.h} evdev/src cp synaptics/include/synaptics-properties.h evdev/src cp arch/*.patch evdev cd evdev patch -p1 -i 0001-implement-trackpoint-wheel-emulation.patch patch -p1 -i 0008-disable-clickpad_guess_clickfingers.patch patch -p1 -i 0010-add-synatics-files-into-Makefile.am.patch dpkg-buildpackage cd .. sudo dpkg -i xserver-xorg-input-evdev_*.deb sudo mkdir /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ sudo cp arch/90-evdev-trackpoint.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1246683 Title: Middle button does not work for scrolling To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-evdev/+bug/1246683/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
