Linux TrackPoint Driver (how to replicate rich IBM driver)
Posted: Thu Jun 29, 2017 11:21 am
So I'll be setting up Linux on my soon-to-be-arriving X1 Carbon 4th Gen (probably Xubuntu, Debian or Open SUSE).
However, the last time I had installed a Linux distro, while the TrackPoint worked and was fully functional after configuring some values... the way it handled was not like that of the IBM Windows and OS/2 driver (when said IBM driver is adjusted for lightest sensitivity so one doesn't have to push very hard).
Is there a way to replicate the precise handling of the rich IBM driver of Windows|OS/2 to Linux?
I don't exactly want to install Windows 10 or ArcaOS just to get the best TrackPoint experience, since both of those OSes have their own unique problems.
