Hi,
I have a ThinkPad, and my purpose is to get the little red TrackPoint to scroll when used together with pressing mouse-left.
The facts are:
I have a ThinkPad from work, which has Ubuntu, and the TrackPoint scrolling works.
The X.Org X Server is version 1.11.3. The configuration file on Ubuntu that makes it work
is /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/11-evdev-trackpoint.conf and the contents are:
I have another ThinkPad, my personal one, which runs FreeBSD 9.1 and X -version reports:
X.Org X Server 1.7.7
Now, from what I read, the configuration section from Ubuntu won't work because that uses [CMD=""]evdev[/CMD] which is Linux specific.
So I would try something else (to get the TrackPoint scrolling to work) which I found somewhere on the Internet:
But the thing is, I do not know where to put this configuration section in order for X to find it and executed. And that is because [CMD=""]Xorg -configure[/CMD] command generates an xorg.conf that does not work. And also I don't know if the /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/ type of configuration works on FreeBSD. I am not sure if X looks in that folder for configuration sections...or not. Nor how to test this.
So if I can get an xorg.conf to work, maybe I can try some InputDevice sections to it, but it doesn't. I am using a monitor attached to the laptop, if that is of importance.
The xorg.conf generated by the
After I restarted, the Xorg.0.log looked like this: http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=xq2rh88p
Maybe you can give me some clues of how to continue.
Thank you!
