Description Jiri Cerny 2006-08-13 08:14:04 UTC
Description of problem:
After a fresh instalation of FC6T2 on T43p the trackpoint and the corresponding
line of buttons does not work in X. The touchpad and its two buttons are without
problems.  

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
FC5T2 version

  
Actual results:
Trackpoint does not work, touchpad does


Expected results:
both works. I do not care about the trackpoint to much, but I tend to use its
middle button, because touchpad does not have one. See
http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/UltraNav for a picture of the device.


Additional info:
I modified /etc/X11/xorg.conf file in the following way and the bug disappears
(I copied it from FC5 system):
into the ServerLayout section add
        InputDevice    "Mouse0" "AlwaysCore"
and add the section
Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier  "Mouse0"
        Driver      "mouse"
        Option      "Protocol" "IMPS/2"
        Option      "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
        Option      "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
        Option      "Emulate3Buttons" "yes"
EndSection

Comment 1 Will Woods 2006-08-14 16:14:28 UTC
Another workaround - on my T43, removing all "InputDevice" sections allows xorg
to properly autodetect all pointer devices (trackpoint, touchpad, and USB mice).
Xorg is supposed to be autodetecting the devices, so the InputDevice sections
may not be necessary.
