Scrolling with Middle TrackPoint Button on T60 using FC6

[whizkid]

I've got a spiffy new T60, and installed Fedora Core 6. I then added the ATI driver, and 3D works just fine.

However, with this version of X.org, there is no mouse section in the xorg.conf file. I don't know if I should add such a section so I can add the configuration settings found at thinkwiki to get scrolling to work, or where they might go.

Any tips?

I'm pretty sure thinkwiki has instructions on that. It might be listed as "synaptic device", at least that's the case for the touchpad.

Thinkwiki is of no help. It tells me to update the mouse section of xorg.conf, but in FC6, there is no mouse section. I have no idea how it works.

If you wish to use a combination of trackpoint and middle button to scroll then this could help you out. Vertical and horizontal scrolling running nicely on my T42.

Relevant section of my /etc/X11/xorg.conf:

Code: Select all

Section "InputDevice"
        Identifier  "Synaptics"
        Driver      "mouse"
        Option      "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
        Option      "Emulate3Buttons" "true"
        Option          "Protocol" "ImPS/2"
        Option          "EmulateWheel" "on"
        Option          "EmulateWheelButton" "2"
        Option          "XAxisMapping" "6 7"
        Option          "YAxisMapping"  "4 5"
        Option          "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
        Option          "SHMConfig"     "true"
EndSection

PS: the "driver" was initially "Synaptics" but I changed it to "mouse" in order for the scrolling to work properly.
