trackpoint and linux mint

[mattdocs12345]

Hi,
How do I adjust acceleration and sensitivity of my trackpoint on linux mint? I am a beginner on linux (although quite advance on windows).

I don't use Linux Mint, but the following information should be helpful.

I used Ubuntu, which Mint is based on, on my R60e. I believe there are tweaks you can make in the settings for the stick sensitivity. I thought it worked well out of the box.

It's actually pretty easy to do.

If you have a trackpoint and touchpad:

Code: Select all

cd /sys/devices/platform/i8042/serio1/serio2
sudo su
echo 255 > speed
echo 255 > sensitivity

255 is the max value for speed/sensitivity, feel free to experiment with that number.

If you only have a trackpoint and/or you have the touchpad disabled in the bios:

Code: Select all

cd /sys/devices/platform/i8042/serio1
sudo su
echo 255 > speed
echo 255 > sensitivity

If your settings do not persist across reboots, you can write a script to set that configuation:

Hope this helps!
