This has been orphaned and blocked (I believe due to no maintainer).

What desktop were you trying to use it under?

Gnome 3.

Of course I've actually pulled out a:

xinput --set-prop 12 --type=int 281 1
xinput --set-prop 12 --type=int 285 2

..to get trackpoint scroll on my Lenovo W530, but I'm not sure
others would be as industrious.

Comment 3 Bill Nottingham 2013-11-14 21:30:17 UTC
OK. In any case, the package was dropped intentionally. See:

Closing this as NOTABUG - if you know of someone who's interested in bringing it back and fixing it, it can be resurrected via the policy at:
