Linux设置小红点键盘,debian linux上安装thinkpad小红点驱动/Installing Debian On Thinkpad – Trackpoint...

在debian wiki上看到一篇文章，英文的，thinkpad小红点驱动安装，看来debian果然不愧有这么好的声誉，内容确实丰富，一个小时前还看了它的中文安装说明文档，也太丰富了。考虑是否换有必要换成debian，fedora15太不稳定了，半年的版本生命周期，又从来没有直接升级成功，都是全新安装，再做设置，虽然/home下家目录可以保留不少设置，新安装后总是要做一些机械的工作，不爽。是否换成centos,或者debian/ubuntu,或许换centos改变相对小一点。

On most Thinkpads, Debian doesn’t enable scrolling with the Trackpoint by default.

Trackpoint scrolling on Lenny

In /etc/X11/xorg.conf, find the section named “Configured Mouse”, then follow the instruction :

Section "InputDevice"

Identifier "Configured Mouse"

Driver "mouse"

#add those three lines

Option "EmulateWheel" "true"

Option "EmulateWheelTimeOut" "200"

Option "EmulateWheelButton" "2"

EndSection

Trackpoint scrolling on Etch

In /etc/X11/xorg.conf, find the section named “Configured Mouse”, then follow the instruction :

Section "InputDevice"

Identifier "Configured Mouse"

Driver "mouse"

Option "CorePointer"

Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"

Option "Protocol" "ImPS/2"

#Comment this line out

#Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true"

#add those three lines

Option "EmulateWheel" "true"

Option "EmulateWheelTimeOut" "200"

Option "EmulateWheelButton" "2"

EndSection

Trackpoint scrolling on Squeeze and later

GNOME

After installing GPointing Device Settings (package gpointing-device-settings), a new option “Pointing devices” appears in the GNOME settings menu. Select “TrackPoint” and check “Use wheel emulation”, select “button: 2”, and check “Enable vertical scroll” and “Enable horizontal scroll”.

xinput

Install package xinput and run the following commands:

$ xinput set-int-prop "TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint" "Evdev Wheel Emulation" 8 1

$ xinput set-int-prop "TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint" "Evdev Wheel Emulation Button" 8 2

$ xinput set-int-prop "TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint" "Evdev Wheel Emulation Axes" 8 6 7 4 5
