Thinkpad TrackPoint Scrolling in Ubuntu Lucid/10.04
Another Ubuntu release, another set of X.org shakeups.
Some things in X changed in Lucid (xorg 1:7.5+5 and higher), breaking existing Thinkpad TrackPoint scrolling configurations that modify files in /etc/hal/fdi/policy (like those you may have seen in this previous post). You can use gpointing-device-settings to apply the same policy, but I found that even that stops working after a suspend/resume cycle.
Samson Yeung pointed out to me the following fix which can be applied on Ubuntu Lucid/10.04:
Create a new file /usr/lib/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-thinkpad.conf with the following contents:
This configuration seems to be general enough that it works for both Thinkpad laptops with TrackPoints and the Thinkpad TrackPoint keyboard.
