Well, since xorg 7.4 and it's input-hotplugging goodness the InputDevices-sections of the xorg.conf-file do not have any effect on your input-hardware. Instead, evdev does this using the hal's fdi-configfiles located in /etc/hal/fdi . Unfortunately, the shipped evdev-version is too old making you have to get the newest. Fortunately, there is a launchpad repo serving this deb. Just add a new file to /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ called evdev.list (or whatever you like) und put in the following line: deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/mvo/ubuntu intrepid main After an aptitude update and dist-upgrade you should have the newest evdev-version. Combined with the new fdi-file mentioned by Michael Fritscher above the scrolling-feature should work again. Don't forget to make sure that the string-value of the first match-tag (where key="info.product") is correct. You can check that using "dmesg | input". Watch out for a line that looks like this: input: TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint as /class/input/input7
that's it! Now it should work :). cheers -- EmulateWheelButton doesn't work anymore on my Thinkpad X61s https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/258161 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
