I use a thinkpad with the little red nipple in the middle, and I haven't been able to find a way to permanently increase the sensitivity. Changes within the gui have no effect, but upon googling I did find another thread where somebody changed the settings with this:
echo -n 250 > /sys/devices/platform/i8042/serio1/sensitivity
echo -n 160 > /sys/devices/platform/i8042/serio1/speed
echo -n 1 > /sys/devices/platform/i8042/serio1/press_to_select
echo -n 4 > /sys/devices/platform/i8042/serio1/upthresh
I put these into the console, and they are almost perfect for me. The only problem is, once I reboot the trackpoing reverts back to its snail like crawl. How would I be able to make the above changes permanent?

Can't you just stick them in /etc/sysctl.conf ?

How would I put them in there? Just copy and paste like they are here?

You can copy and paste them as they are into /etc/rc.local.
