I've tried a bunch of different ways but I can't get anything to work. my linux skill level is about a 2, so i need something easy and detailed.

for Kubuntu 7.10, for permanent changes
added to /etc/rc.local
Code: Select all
# - - - Thinkpad Trackpoint
echo -n 120 > /sys/devices/platform/i8042/serio1/serio2/speed
echo -n 220 > /sys/devices/platform/i8042/serio1/serio2/sensitivity
beware the paths to sensitivity and speed have been
slightly different in earlier versions of Kubuntu.

yes, thinkwiki server is down, weird.
But Trackpoint does run out-of-the-box in Ubuntu Gutsy. You can change sensitivity and speed by a GUI tool. Only if you want even more speed/sensitivity you'll need the above.
For Firefox go to about:config (type in as URL) and change:
mousewheel.horizscroll.withnokey.action = 0;
mousewheel.horizscroll.withnokey.numlines = 1;
