Same thing here, tested on several ThinkPads with gnome3. Happens both in gnome shell as classic mode. can confirm (ThinkPad T61p) btw seems similair to https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=713534 and is't there a quick'n'dirty way I myself can make it work? anyway, I hope you guys fix this bug soon, because it's increadibly anoying :) I fixed it for now by adding the following to a new file /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-trackpoint.conf: Section "InputClass" Identifier "Trackpoint Wheel Emulation" MatchProduct "TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint|DualPoint Stick|Synaptics Inc. Composite TouchPad / TrackPoint|ThinkPad USB Keyboard with TrackPoint|USB Trackpoint pointing device|Composite TouchPad / TrackPoint" MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*" Option "EmulateWheel" "true" Option "EmulateWheelButton" "2" Option "EmulateWheelInertia" "10" Option "EmulateWheelTimeout" "190" Option "Emulate3Buttons" "false" Option "XAxisMapping" "6 7" Option "YAxisMapping" "4 5" EndSection Not a nice solution (it's set for every user), but until gpointing-device-settings works again good enough for me. I blindly created the file and copied the snippet. that made my X unable to start unfortunatelly I don't know much about configuring X to make a sense of it so this is warning for others not to do the same mistake as me ThinkPad T61p http://www.smolts.org/show?uuid=pub_828559fb-4c34-4eae-a12e-802d8ce8610d This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database. Reassigning to the new owner of this component. Updated to gpointing-device-settings-1.5.1-4 but it made no difference. Settings still do not get applied on login. Yep, I know. But I don't know why/have no workaround. Upstream seems to not look at bugs etc... It's quite difficult right now. :( Just adding myself to list. Same problem on Thinkpad T520 with UltraNav: - SynPS/2 Synaptics Touchpad - TPPS/2 IBM Trackpoint using 'gpointing-device-settings-1.5.1-4.fc15.x86_64'. The 'wheel' settings for the trackpoint do not survive a reboot I do have a further problem as the touchpad does not work at all (and so cannot be configured using gpointing-device-settings). Should this work "out of the box" or does it need special xorg configuration? A file like in comment 3 but for the touchpad? Looking at dmesg, etc. I get the impression it should work "out of the box". I can confirm the configuration in comment 3 works with a little editing. The line: MatchProduct "TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint|DualPoint Stick|Synaptics Inc. Composite TouchPad / TrackPoint|ThinkPad USB Keyboard with TrackPoint|USB Trackpoint pointing device|Composite TouchPad / TrackPoint" Just needs the line breaks edited so that they are on the same line. Be careful not to delete anything else. This message is a notice that Fedora 15 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 15. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version' of '15' have been closed as WONTFIX. (Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.) Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were unable to fix it before Fedora 15 reached end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that version of Fedora. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping this bug is still present in Fedora 17 Just to confirm that it really is still present in Fedora 17. This has been plaguing me since I began using Fedora 9. Back then, I was using an IBM ThinkPad R40. With every iteration of Fedora, this problem never fails. Now I'm on Fedora 18 with a Lenovo T61p, and the same thing occurs. gpointing does not work after reboot. I just wanted to reiterate: When I say "this problem never fails", I mean this condition is VERY reproducible. I just orphaned the package as I'm not using it any more and upstream doesn't seem to work much on it any more: http://git.gnome.org/browse/gpointing-device-settings/log/ Feel free to take it. This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database. Reassigning to the new owner of this component. Have you tried the package "mousetweaks"? mousetweaks is installed by default in Fedora. Well, at least it was on mine. The package doesn't seem to have any specialized settings. mousetweaks doesn't allow you to change the trackpoint setting, should you have one, e.g. scrolling; otherwise it's great that the touchpad gets disabled really easy with it. Please open a bug with gnome upstream. Upstream is dead for this package (hence why it was orphaned). Just to be nice I'll reassign to gnome-desktop and see if you get a response from Gnome devs. They maintain this upstream. This message is a notice that Fedora 19 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 19. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '19'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 19 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. Fedora 19 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-01-06. Fedora 19 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. |
