I have ThinkPad x201i, Arch 64bit and (ofc) trackpoint which I want to configure.
I'm using:
# echo -n 200 > /sys/devices/platform/i8042/serio1/serio2/speed &
# echo -n 200 > /sys/devices/platform/i8042/serio1/serio2/sensitivity &
and it work's ok but when I reboot, my speed/sensitivity is gone even if I have this two lines of code in my /etc/rc.local. I know it workted good in rc.local when I was using Arch like 2 months ago. I've downloaded "configure-trackpoint" package from AUR and when I run it I see this error:
No D-BUS daemon running
but I have installed dbus, It's in my daemon array in rc.conf and I can see it running in htop.
Thanks for any help

Do you have any config file in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d?

Yes I do.
10-evdev.conf
10-quirks.conf
10-synaptics.conf

Check if this trackpoint specific config file works for you:
# TrackPoint with scrolling
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "Trackpoint Wheel Emulation"
MatchProduct "TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint|DualPoint Stick|Synaptics Inc. Composite TouchPad / TrackPoint|ThinkPad USB Keyboard with TrackPoint|USB Trackpoint pointing device"
MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
Option "EmulateWheel" "true"
Option "EmulateWheelButton" "2"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "false"
Option "XAxisMapping" "6 7"
Option "YAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection
Save it as a separate file, say, 10-trackpoint.conf.

Thx. I think that config file is working, I'm able to scroll with trackpoint now. Can u tell me how I'll setup speed/sensitivity with that conf file?

I've never tested it myself--my trackpoint works well with default settings--but you may try this udev-based method.

It looks like adding:
SUBSYSTEM=="serio", DRIVERS=="psmouse", WAIT_FOR="/sys/devices/platform/i8042/serio1/serio2/sensitivity", ATTR{sensitivity}="255"
works just fine. Thanks bohoomil

I installed the programm "configure-trackpoint". That works for the actuall session, but is gone when restarting the system...
@ examon
Your methods doesnt work for me. X wont start.

The undeveloped rule should work. But it only foes so if you boot to the graphical.target right away and that target is set up to actually start your x server.
I think this is because the poi t at which the udevadm trigger is run is early but not too early. And it don't be run again after something like startx if you booted from to only multi-user.target.
