causes Posted October 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2014 this isn't covered by synaptics? https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Synaptics <--- eh? Evdev has option "EmulateWheelButton" to emulate mouse wheel when middle button is pressed. It doesn't work on new thinkpads where trackpoint buttons are integrated to touchpad because synaptics and evdev are two different drivers and can't communicate. Here is the related bug report: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=70780 Picture of new thinkpad trackpoint: http://www.lenovo.com/images/gallery/1060x596/lenovo-laptop-thinkPad-t431s-keyboard-closeup-4.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
