Fedora + trackpoint middle button

#1 Post by amwus » Mon Oct 29, 2007 3:31 pm

Hi ! How could i activate the scrolling button for the trackpoint in F7 ? In ubuntu, i had 2 input devices. One for the touchpad and another for the trackpoint, but in F7 i just have one input device in my xorg.conf...

Thanks !

This is what worked for me in Mandriva 2007.1. Check and modify or insert the following section in /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Code: Select all

Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier "Mouse1"
    Driver "mouse"
    Option "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2"
    Option "Device" "/dev/psaux"
    Option "Emulate3Buttons" "on"
    Option "Emulate3Timeout" "50"
    Option "EmulateWheel" "on"
    Option "EmulateWheelButton" "2"
EndSection
There should also be another section at the bottom...

Code: Select all

Section "ServerLayout"
    Identifier "layout1"
    InputDevice "Keyboard1" "CoreKeyboard"
    InputDevice "Mouse1" "CorePointer"
    InputDevice "SynapticsMouse1" "AlwaysCore"
    Screen "screen1"
EndSection
You may need to log out and back in or reboot for the changes to take effect.
