Trackpad scroll not working on some programs

#1 Post by mrtaufner » Tue Jun 26, 2018 4:01 pm

So that's it. For some reason, there are some programs (Telegram, Mozilla Firefox mainly)that wont scroll when touching the edge nor using the middle trackpoint button.

Also, it seems I can't update the drivers. Despite uninstalling the drivers and manually deleting the folder and files.

What can I do?

It is known that on this generation of Thinkpads, Firefox specifically (and a few other programs) need custom entries in the trackpoint configuration files to get scrolling to work.

Try following the instructions referenced in the following thread:

Thinkpad 25 (20K7), T490 (20N3), Yoga 14 (20FY), T430s (IPS FHD + Classic Keyboard), X220 4291-4BG
