Lenovo W540 Trackpoint/Middle Mouse

[wiesl]

Hello,

I'm using a new Lenovo W540 with Windows 8.1 Update 1 with latest driver from Lenovo (Synaptics 18.0.7.39).
I'm using Trackpoint Mode with activated middle button. Unfortunately the middle button works in scrolling mode. I didn't find how to change the mode (on a Lenovo W500 you could select for middle mouse: Scrolling, Magnifying Glass, Neither). So I'm looking for the Neither mode.

Any ideas?

Thank you.

You can use TPMiddle to do that: http://users.v-lo.krakow.pl/~mwrobel/pr ... iddle.html

Thank you. I'll try it. No other directly supported solution here?

Thank you.

Sometime over a year ago the Trackpoint drivers ruined the middle mouse functionality for all Thinkpads. I had to revert to a driver from 2011 to get it working right on my T61p, and newer models probably don't have that option. I think that the 3rd party program is the only good option for the moment.

OK, you can find an enhanced version of TPMiddle which works correctly for me and fixes some race conditions. See the CHANGELOG for details.

To work correctly ThinkPad must be configured in the "Only Classic TrackPoint Mode", at least for me.

Did you happen to also email the original author so he can include this version on his page? Looks like 0.6 was contributed by someone else too.

Yes, I wrote the original author but didn't get any answer (2 weeks ago).
