Public bug reported: Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-input-mouse
All thinkpad Laptop and perperhials (USB keyboards) feature a trackpoint. One feature missing from Ubuntu out of the box, is the ability for the trackpoint to do horizontal & vertical scrolling. If you are on a web page, you hold the middle button (which on Thinkpads has a blue strip .. to identify this feature) .. then you use the touchpoint to scroll the page. Horizontally or vertically. Thinkwiki.org has put together a very comprehensive config for xorg to enable this feature for only Trackpoint enabled devices. The xorg.conf.d conf can be found here: http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/How_to_configure_the_TrackPoint#xorg.conf.d I have tested it and it works wonderfully on my Lenovo Thinkpad X301, Lenovo Thinkpad T410, as well as the Lenovo Thinkpad USB keyboard. I have the config file attached to this bug. But I'm not 100% sure if xserver-xorg-input-mouse is the right package to put it in or not. This is a feature that many Thinkpad users use under windows. Would be good to have it enabled in Ubuntu by default. ** Affects: xserver-xorg-input-mouse (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Enable Thinkpad Trackpoint scrolling by default https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/612335 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-input-mouse in ubuntu. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
