How to use TrackPoint in Ubuntu

How to use TrackPoint in Ubuntu

Threre is a amazing website for thinkpad users who want to linux systems.

It is : http://www.thinkwiki.org/

After about one month ubuntu 9.10 using experience, i think most of the things are VERY ok, one inconvenience things is about my TrackPoint middle button emulation.

In windows system which driver installed , when you press the middle button of the TrackPoint , and move the trackpoint , you can scroll the screen. But there is no offical TrackPoint driver for linux until now,so we must hack . If we have thinkwiki.org , the things are very easy. Go to this page: http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/How_to_configure_the_TrackPoint#Configuration_using_Gnome  and install the tool: Gpointing device settings.

One thing important: I installed the tool, and found it was useless ! After miniutes trying, I found that you should modify the button count in the control panel , as default it was 4 , when I set 2 , it works!!
