I'm trying to use the handy back and forward buttons on my t42 but they do not work on Opera 7.5 while they with other apps!
Any idea ?

Every now and then they seem to just stop working... the OSD is still there, but I have to not push it until the OSD goes away. I think theres a limit to how quickly you can push it for FF to respond, do you have anything like this?

I found these somewhere, maybe on Opera forums, I don't remember now

To get Thinkpad forward/backward keys to work in Opera
1. Open registry editor (regedit)
2. Delete the two keys corresponding to the forward/back keys:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\IBM\TPHOTKEY\1001
HKLM\SOFTWARE\IBM\TPHOTKEY\1002
3. Lof off and back on or reboot.

To get scrolling with Trackpoint/middle button to work in Opera
1. Find following files
c:\Program Files\Synaptics\Syntp\tp4table.dat
c:\Program Files\Synaptics\Syntp\Media\TP4TABLE.dat
c:\Program Files\Synaptics\Syntp\Media\TP4SCROL.dat
(they used to be in %SYSTEM_ROOT%\System32 in previous Synaptics software versions)
2. open the with any text editor (eg. Notepad)
3. In the "Pass 0 rules" section add following line:
*,*,opera.exe,*,*,*,WheelStd,0,9
4. Reboot.

Both worked in my case. Good luck.
